The oven came first

Forno Alto is built around one wood-fired oven at the back of a narrow shop in Bonfim. The fire is lit before dawn, and everything on the shelves is baked in it that same morning.

Our breads are leavened with a long-kept sourdough starter and given a slow, cool rise overnight. That makes a deep crust, an open crumb and bread that keeps for days.

We bake a set amount each morning. When it is gone, we close, which is why we take reservations: a loaf with your name on it is set aside before the door opens.

  1. Fire lit, oven left to soak up the heat
  2. Embers raked out, first loaves on the peel
  3. Door opens; pastries and coffee
  4. Closing time, or earlier if we sell out
The oven mouth with the first peel of loaves, early side light from the street door. 4:5 crop.
The counter at opening: loaves on the shelves behind, pastries in front, the street visible through the window. 4:5 crop, or 16:10 on wide screens.
