Baking a french style bread based on a sourdough poolish with a high hydration dough, autolyse and stretch and fold technique in a Rofco hearth bread oven. I also use german banneton's (baskets) in the final proofing. See http://www.weekendbakery.com/ for more bread information!
where did you get that oven? and how much does it cost? I went ti the website of the brand on the front and cant find prices. Beautiful bread!

@MamlyMan We bought our oven directly from Rofco. You can contact them about prices, they have an English speaking employee to answer your questions. We are very happy with our Rofco oven, and the results we get would never be possible in a normal household oven.

We use a German Haussler spiral mixer, the mixer is not necessary, but very preferable ;-) Lots of people bake perfect bread with kitchenaid mixers, however our mixer can knead 6kg (about 13 pounds) of dough in one go!

absolutely stunning!! I can watch this video all day! I've been following your blog for about 6mths. I dream of having an oven like yours, but can't afford it! I noticed that you score your bread several times along the same line. To make the same line deeper?
Do you ever share recipes on your blog??? :) Please!!

Frozenrice: you need to score the loaf evenly from back to front to get a nice 'ear' on the bread. I hold the lame (razorblade on a stick) under? a 45 angle when I cut the loaf. Because the dough is so soft, wet and instable I have to cut 3 times with care to deflate the dough as little as possible.
