This has been a back of my mind idea project for several years. Has anyone here built a wood bread/pizza home baking oven? If so was it worthwhile? I have seen very expensive internet offers that are way over my budget, and at times during great economic times have been tempted, but always have come to my senses. There is a local bakehouse in Ann Arbor Michigan that does baking classes and I have considered taking a few now and again, but could never justify the cost and make the schedule work with my business. Now they are offering a 16 hour class (4 hours per week for 4 weeks) on how to build a backyard woodburning oven, hands on. The cost is $400.00 and although I could cough up the money I wonder if the on-hands instruction is worth it. I would love to bake my own bread and pizza in a backyard oven and it sounds like a great thing to do. Any thoughts, ideas or personal experiences?
