Have you ever baked cookies, waffles, sweets or cakes in your Fontana Bakehouse? We have tips for a perfect baking day.
Sweet Treats from the Fontana Bakehouse
We have many customers who use their Fontana bakehouses to cook entire menus, braise, or of course, make pizza. But the bakehouses can do much more. Sweet treats can also be prepared just as well. Whether it's waffles from the form, cakes, cookies, or desserts. The most important thing is the temperature, which requires some experience to set. You should know your oven well to find the optimal temperature when heating it up. But then you can have a full baking day to make optimal use of the energy.
How to organize a baking day in your Fontana bakehouse
- Preheat the oven to 280 degrees.
- Wait until the temperature begins to drop. Do not continue stoking. Now put the bread or loaves in and bake at a falling temperature. When the bread is done, add more wood.
- At about 200 - 220 degrees, bake the cake and gradually let the temperature in the oven drop, do not stoke again.
- At a temperature of 180 degrees, cookies or sweet pastries can be baked. Also stollen, yeast buns, or sweet rolls. So basically all sweet treats.
- Once the temperature drops below 160 degrees, then sweet goods like waffles in forms, croissants, or Danish pastries can be added.
Baking and Saving Energy
At the end of such a baking day, you've hit several targets at once. You've made the most out of your energy use. The wood has baked you bread for several days, filled the cookie jars, prepared dessert and coffee treats, and even produced small rewards for snacking directly. Perhaps you've also baked sweet pieces for freezing. What a successful baking day. Almost a bit like in the past when the village bakehouse was fired up once a week. Today, we not only save energy compared to baking individual breads or cakes but also use renewable fuels through wood firing. With better planning, the frequency of our grocery shopping is reduced, which leads to lower emissions and spontaneous purchases, contributing to a sustainable lifestyle.
