Course Description
Have you ever wanted to have an outdoor oven and bake bread and pizza in your back garden? Do you like playing with mud? By using natural materials at very little cost, you can build your own earth oven. An earth oven uses conduction, convection and radiation, providing faster, more thorough baking and better flavoured food. The oven’s interior reaches about 700 degrees Fahrenheit. An earth oven holds heat for several hours so food needing less heat can be cooked as the oven cools. Any heat remaining can be used to dry the wood for your next fire.
This two day course will teach you how to prepare a base to build on, shape the oven, mix the mud and form the oven.
Come and have some fun and learn a new skill.
What to bring: Lunch, suitable outdoor clothing, sturdy walking shoes, waterproof jacket, notepad, pencil. All tools and gloves will be provided.
