Homemade Bread Baking Equipment

After ordering and receiving a brotform, I've decided to buy some cane and make my own. I also am going to make some linen lined baskets as bread rising baskets.

Now I found an idea for a homemade cloche made from a terracotta flower pot, tray, eyebolt, nuts, and some washers. If my bread made in it doesn't suit me I can plant some herbs.

I've built dozens of kilns for ceramics - now to convince myself to build a woodfired oven on my patio.

If I ever get the time, I'll build this oven:  http://www.sunset.com/sunset/Premium/Home/...erials0898.html

Before you or anyone else builds this thing, refer to two books: "The Bread Builders", and "Bread Ovens of Quebec". There you will find that the open front should be a certain proportion of the inside dome height of the oven. Get that wrong and you'll likely get lousy fires, and messy burns. I built mine (nothing like the Sunset one) according to the guidelines in those books, and it works wonderfully. Beware, and not just for Halloween.

Also, speaking of some baking things we made, I made my own bread and/or pizza peels.
