Elevate Your Baking The Fourneau Bread Oven is designed to bake safer, faster, and better than dutch ovens and top-loading breadware. Lift fewer hot, heavy parts with the Fourneau front-loading design. Bake twice as much in the same amount of time with the Fourneau tray system. Bake the glossiest, crustiest loaves with Fourneau's unique steam well and precision fitting parts. Artisan Quality Bread at Home Heat and Steam are the essential elements needed to make an airy crumb and a shiny, crisp crust. The Fourneau Grande creates the perfect baking environment through the use of materials, precise fitting parts, and an easy to use design. The shock-proof base of the Fourneau Grande allows you to add water to the baking chamber for oven spring and crust formation like a commercial bread oven. The Fourneau Tray Updated From flipping dough out of the forming basket to getting it into the oven, the Fourneau bread oven tray system represents a leap forward in control and convenience. The Fourneau tray makes it easy to handle dough delicately and reduces the need to manipulate hot parts. Front Loading Ease and Efficiency The Fourneau Grande stays in the oven through the entire baking session. That means less handling of hot gear. It also means that you can cycle loaves through the oven faster with two stage baking: spring each loaf in the Grande and finish them in the open oven; while one loaf is finishing the Grande is ready to start another! Our Largest Baking Cloche The Fourneau Grande will fit everything from big 1kg batards to demi-baguettes. Compared to the Fourneau 2.0, the baking capacity of the Grande is nearly double. The cordierite Grande base can be flipped over for use as a flat pizza stone. Finish The iron cloche and closure hatch are available finished or unfinished. Finished kits are coated with a polymerized oil-seasoning. The coating requires occasional re-seasoning but can be repaired and renewed endlessly, yielding a truly long-lasting product. Unfinished kits must be seasoned before use in your home oven or propane grill. The process is similar to seasoning a cast iron pan and we include instructions with unfinished kits. NOTE: You will need to care for your iron parts in the same way you care for you cast iron pans, by applying oil and refreshing the oil-seasoning. Rust formation is avoidable and correctable. We do not offer returns or exchanges due to rust. Notes Fourneau Grande is assembled in the US from Chinese and US-made parts. Each baking tray comes with a silicone baking mat.
