tvoivozhd---I have baked good bread in a conventional electric or
gas-fired oven. My mother's wood-fired range was better, and an outside
clay oven fired quite hot by wood or charcoal, and ashes withdrawn to
make room for bread dough shoved in with a paddle, makes the absolute
best. Memories make me drool. Last good clay oven product I bought
came from a baker in Marsh Harbour, Abaco---he could have sold a lot
more, but he limited himself to low output---posted it long ago when my
memory was betterl think he made a couple hundred loaves a day and then
went fishing or sacked out in a hammock drinking a mint julep. He only
made white bread though.
