oven of our dreams

what baker doesn't fall into a spiritual reverie when contemplating the possibility of owning his or her own real wood-fired oven?

alas, they are expensive and completely unsuitable for all of us apartment dwellers. one of the most notable proponents of the wood-fired oven, alan scott, is of course the co-author of that classic of sourdough baking, the bread builders, which i reviewed here long ago. his ovens are hand-built on the spot to suit you. a somewhat less intense choice is to go with a mugnaini oven, often advertised in the back of food magazines, such as italian cooking and living. neither of these are inexpensive, but boy are they gorgeous!

even tho' i can't have such an oven, i can dream! i can live vicariously, which this great article allows me to do. . .
