650F for 15ish mins, I found this to be a hilarious result and hope you do as well. We will keep trying with the Ooni. Tips appreciated!

wtf were you trying to bake? What’s in the bottom of that pan?

650F is crazy hot for bread

This made me laugh so hard haha. If it goes low enough, I’d do 500 as the absolute max when baking a loaf like this.

It was almost done. The center looks a bit raw. Try another 15 minutes or so. Hope this helps.

Seems a bit hot. Does the Ooni not go lower?

That rare burnt and raw loaf

Why do you want to bake bread in the Ooni? Do you not have a regular oven?

Approach Krispy Kreme with a new charcoal cleanse menu idea… complete with silky smooth filling.

I went down this road for a while with sourdough. I finally got the bake somewhat even, but it was still worse than oven bread to me. Tried both wood/coal and propane I think.

[Their own site](https://ooni.com/blogs/recipes/wood-fired-bread-loaf) suggests 500F for a loaf of bread (recipe makes three 600g dough balls). You don’t want insanely hot temps like you might use for pizza. Pizza cooks fast because the heat diffuses from the baking surface to the crust rapidly. More like a pita or a pancake than a loaf of bread, in some ways. High surface area of contact vs. dough volume. The thicker your blob of dough, the more you need to crank the temp down and plan for a longer bake.

You gotta burn to learn!

650!?

650?! You murdered that poor dough.

If you take the average, it’s perfectly cooked!

Well rare bread

Why did you decide to bake at 650F??! That’s absurd
MooToadBam
Why did I think the raw dough was some type of filling 😭
birdy_bird84
Mmmm, look at that cream filling.

I bake bread at 460 lmao

Can you bake a loaf in an Ooni? I feel like there wouldn’t be enough clearance to allow for the oven spring without burning. Maybe try dinner rolls or something with less height like focaccia instead?

High temp is good for thin bread like flatbread or pizzas. Was there a lid on it? that probably would have helped.

I wonder if focaccia would fare better since it’s less of a thick loaf?
superspryte
It’s like a basque loaf🤔

It sounds like you learned today why pizza is flat 😆.

It’s chemistry for a reason. Which means no shortcuts.

Did you bake it in the fires of Mordor? Gaaaahhh damn
ambientspoon
I did this once at 750 in a wood fired oven! I pulled the raw dough out of the middle, rolled it into balls, and baked those. Gotta love a good catastrophe.

Oh my god I thought this was stuffed with cream cheese. There’s always tomorrow OP 😂
Dripping_Gravy
Oh dear! That was cooked like a steak; medium rare, with a nice hard sear!
Glad you also see the humor in life’s resilience training program! Haha

This is the first time I’ve seen burnt and raw bread at the same time, damn
