Best Deck Oven for a Cottage Bakery | Proof Bread

  • We started baking our sourdough loaves in a broken pizza oven and while many would upgrade to a Rofco oven, our first major investment was actually an ABS deck oven. This may seem like a huge leap for some home bakers, but for a cottage bakery it made the most sense in terms of efficiency and production output.

    I am a young baker of 24 yo from south Italy, my dad owns a bakery since 1987, and so my grandad use too, back in the 40s, after 4 years in London working as a chef, I’ve comeback to help my old man with the bakery and start to take over, all yours videos helped me a lot understanding the process and bread itself under other point of views, in addiction with the huge experience of my dad, just wanted to say thank you! I hope that some day I’ll became a great baker! The way is still long though :)

    It may seem a luxury but when in position to get a brand new equipment, just go for it because it's worthwhile. It saves you lots of dollars in the long run relative with repairs of a used equipment.
    I don't mean to disdain companies that do repairs of equipments but charging you for looking at the equipment(s) and suggesting to sell you a cheaper one from their store has become their ways..., which will still require great servicing in the short run believe me.

    Very interesting. Looking at the cut sheets online they seem to have a nice, modular, system. 2 and 3 pan wide. 1, 2, 3 and 4 decks for easy expansion. Could start with 2, add 2 later. Or if you are tight on space you can use the narrower 2 pan system. You were not kidding about the power requirements. 40kW at 208V-3PH. That's a 150A 3-phase service right there. Hardwire with flex conduit, or did you go with something like a pin and sleeve receptacle so it could be relocated easily? Are you planning for additional future decks/units in your new location?

    Dude I love your mission, and you’re inspiring story. I work at a bagel shop and use a steam injection Rêvent oven. I have been wanting to use it to bake loaves of sourdough, what do you use for steam settings? And what does the delay mean? We bake our bagels with 8 seconds of steam and a 23 second delay. Idk what that means tho. Hope to hear back from you! And keep up the amazing work!

    Your video is very timely. Would you say that a normal pizza deck oven had a big enough height clearance for your loaves? My greatest fear is to buy a pizza deck oven from an auction site and it be too short to allow the loaves to rise without hitting the top. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

    Hey! Question: I recently have gotten access to using a deck oven (similar to yours) at a local bakery! It is AWESOME! I wanted to ask though, do you bake ALL of your loaves in these deck ovens? i.e. with flavors added - namely cheese! I know you have done a Gochujang loaf as well -- will it ruin your decks if you put those types of loaves in? I want to bake some jalapeno cheddar loaves in the deck oven - but do not want to get oil and cheese residue all over the deck oven, if it is going to be a BAD idea, or make a mess / be bad in the long run... THANK you for your help.
    While I am at it - I had an oven temp question...I have heard some people do a higher LOWER deck oven temp to help promote oven spring! Have you ever tried that?? Thoughts on that method?

      It depends on your space and utility availability. If you have enough available electricity then I’d go with an electric oven. They will bake the same consistently, whereas with a gas oven barometric pressure in the room, calorific value of the gas supply and even the humidity in the room can affect the operation of your oven. However ABS does make an excellent gas deck oven, and once calibrated for your specific environment it should bake very similarly to an electric oven

      Modular deck ovens are a great fit for multiple reasons. Firstly, you can run one, two, three, or all four decks - and they can each be at different temperatures - flexibility to bake anything at any time. Deck ovens are great as they can be dialed in for individual products - more top heat? No problem! Less top heat and a hot bottom deck - no problem. Plus these decks have a ceramic encapsulated element system that transfers heat in a mellow way - while the mass of the oven still gives you the jump/ovenspring you want.
