toni bread

We have a million (or more) things to do in the coming months but someday I want to build a toni oven like this one. This is how bread gets baked in the Republic of Geogia. Essentially it is a concrete or stone pit with a fire in the bottom & the bread dough just gets slapped up against the walls until it is done. Some toni ovens were just tin drums…I’m thinking that mud or stone is probably a better, healthier way to go when I get around to making this happen. Mmmm…toni bread…no electricity required!
