Did you know?
12,000 years ago bread was first made in Turkish mountain villages by cooking
dough on sun baked stones.
The Neff baking stone allows you to replicate the flavour and texture of these
early loaves using the modern convenience of a Neff oven.
Home bread baking is uncomplicated and requires a small amount of effort.
The reward is the wonderful aroma and flavour of home baked bread.
Neff telescopic shelves will assist with the use of the Pizza Stone.
