a shot inside the oven, the loaves shown are approximately 70cm long small baguettes so you can tell the enormous size of this oven. Unlike for most wood fired bread ovens, due I think to the size the fire is still inside whilst actually baking, to the front right. The oven ceiling dome is quite high but obscured here by smoke.
|
The length of the peels gives you further idea of the size of the oven. The baker’s pit in front of oven is gratifyiling similar to mine.

Their proofing cabinet (a ’Parisienne’?). Seems like a beautiful and very practical piece of gear.
|
The proofing cabinet is on wheels so it can be wheeled from the make up area at back of bakery around to the mouth of the oven at front of shop
