I co-pastored a mission church close to the Acoma and Laguna Pueblos. A Laguna lady and I made bread that was wholesaled to several local grocery stores. We mixed 100 lb of flour a day and sometimes as much as150 lb if we had larger orders. We weighed the dough out in 1 lb loaves. The bread wars baked in commercial pizza ovens. Nice crisp crusts,and tender inside. I still love a loaf of it with a simple meal of red or green chili stew.
I miss it enough that following the directions of a now deceased friend I’m in the beginning stage of building alarge horno where I can bake breads and pies. I have most of my materials and the foundation is done. iI
I can’t contain my eagerness to have it completed. Nearly 40 years of feasts from those ovens has quite spoiled me for store bought breads.

Nan,

My 10 year old Fifth Grade son had to do a Project for Social Studies class on the Pueblo Indians. He choose to bake some Pueblo Oven Bread. Is it normal for the bread to have a harder outside, the bread to have a darker than white color on the inside? We used White Flour,Butter. The bread tastes great but is very time consuming in the rising process. Is this bread supposed to be on the heavy side instead of feeling lighter like normal White Bread? I will follow up, let you know how the class liked the bread. I have never made bread before with the exception of Banana, Pumpkin Breads from scratch. Do the Pueblos ever use anything to flavor breads such as Cheese or seasoning?

Thanks Gina and Joshua Cherry

CA & Nan, my wife and I are from northwestern NM and our families are very good friends with the Jemez and Santa Domingo Pueblos and do we love their bread. When the children were young we bought ten loaves a month and frozen what we didn’t eat and used it throughout the month. Nan, which Pueblo Village are you from. We’ve always wanted to eat the bread fresh out of the oven, but never have. I can only imagine the taste. My late mother use to make bread in an outdoor oven and it was sooooo good with beans or stew. There is a difference between wood cooked bread and meals vs gas cooked. Grew up on wood cooking stove. We will try the bread recipe. The trip sounds great!! Thanks!

The only difference is, with a wood fire-the bread would have a smokey taste. And yes it does taste better. Can’t have a wood fire at the Hyatt, because of all the smoke, it would get in & on everything. Some people might not appreciate it.

I asked Nan that exact question. She explained that after the horno gets to the right temperature (about 500 degrees) that the gas is turned off. If it is a wood burning horno like Nan has at home, the wood and ashes are pulled out. It is the bricks that heat the oven and wet rags are pushed into holes in the oven to help brown the bread or control the temperature. Nan, if you read this, please add your expertise!!
