Another really fun thing to do on a hot, muggy day is bake 48 loaves of sourdough bread in a wood-fired oven. First you build a big fire and let the thick oven walls heat up to 500 degrees. Then you pull out the fire.

It's no wonder that he has a devoted following. Those loaves are beautiful and the care and art that goes into making them is obvious! Not a fun job to do on a hot day but what a result! :)
Mmmm-mmm! We love sourdough bread and I know you just can't beat baking it in an oven such as you have. Do you use the oven in the winter also? We have friends who have an outdoor oven a bit bigger than yours and they use it all year round.
Those loves are gorgeous! Great job Rog!!
We have used this oven in the winter, but at freezing or below it takes a long time to get up to temp and doesn't hold the heat as well. We are planning to build a larger oven partly for that reason.
