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 be equally well prepared. Whether it's waffles from the mold, 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. Once that's done, you can have an entire baking day to make optimal use of the energy.
How to organize a baking day in your Fontana Bakehouse
- Heat the oven to 280 degrees.
- Wait until the temperature begins to drop. Do not add more fuel. Now insert the bread or breads and bake at the falling temperature. Once the bread is done, add wood again.
- Bake the cake at about 200 - 220 degrees and let the temperature in the oven gradually fall, no longer adding fuel.
- At a temperature of 180 degrees, cookies or yeast pastries can now be baked. Also, stollen, braided bread, or sweet rolls. So basically all sweet treats.
- When the temperature falls below 160 degrees, sweet pastries like waffles in molds, croissants, or Danish pastries can be added.
Baking and saving energy
At the end of such a baking day, you've killed several birds with one stone. You've gotten the maximum out of your energy use. The wood has baked bread for several days, filled the cookie tins, prepared dessert and coffee time, and also produced small rewards for immediate snacking. Perhaps you've also baked sweet pieces for freezing. What a successful baking day. Almost a bit like in the past, where the village bakehouse was fired up once a week. Today, we not only save energy compared to baking individual loaves or cakes, but we also use renewable fuels through wood firing. Better planning reduces the frequency of our shopping trips, which leads to lower emissions and impulse purchases, thus contributing to a sustainable lifestyle.
