A village bread oven
A village association reopened a stone bread oven that had been unused for decades. Before the first firing, a mason repaired cracks around the doorway. Dry branches were burned inside the chamber, then the ashes were swept out before dough was placed on the hot floor.
Families booked a baking slot through the post office. They marked their dough with a simple pattern so loaves could be returned to the correct owner. The association set aside the first Saturday of each month for shared baking. Remaining heat was used to dry sliced apples after the bread had been removed.
