After months of hard work baking sourdough in Dutch ovens in our domestic oven, 2 June 2026 was the overwhelming arrival of our Rackmaster deck oven, and rack.
Those months of baking were rewarding, but they were hard work. Producing loaf after loaf in Dutch ovens took time, energy and a lot of patience. As demand grew, I knew that if Bricknell Bakehouse was going to move forward, something had to change.
This was a significant investment, made possible by a loan, and with it came the responsibility of making it work.
But it was also exciting. Suddenly, I could bake more loaves in a fraction of the time, opening up possibilities that simply hadn't been practical before. 12 loaves in 40 mins, instead of 12 loaves in 3 hours.
I'm especially grateful to Campbell, the manufacturer who was a brilliant contact along the way. Building a small business is full of unknowns, and having good people to turn to makes such a difference.
