Learning All About Deck Ovens

Hi there, I am Abe Nixon. I am here to talk to you about deck ovens used for baking bread. The use of a deck oven gives the bread a unique flavor and crust that cannot be achieved in a conventional oven. In fact, the type of fuel you choose for your deck oven also contributes to the overall taste of your bread. I would not be able to achieve the smoky finish on my rolls without the deck oven I obtained for my business. I hope that you will use the information on my site to select a deck oven and fuel type for your bread making hobby or business. Thank you for your time.
