Abstract
This invention provides an oven to produce a desired baking effect while simultaneously providing the bread with a desirable brown coloration in both its top and bottom surfaces. A unique feature of this oven is the provision of a top radiant refractory arch wall and top flame heating to effect a desired radiance to the refractory arch surface, and also to simultaneously produce a desired radiance to a horizontally disposed radiant plate suitably disposed above the bread travelling continuously there beneath. The oven of this invention provides for substantially flash baking of relatively thin bread discs with a suitable crust formation and coloration of both its top and bottom surfaces. This oven provides also a novel method of baking relatively thin bread material. This invention accordingly provides an indirectly fired novel baking oven having novel features, to wit: a tip refractory oven surface for baking purposes supplemented by a specifically provided radiant heat-bank plate for providing a desirable brown crust in a minimum of time. The bread discs travel on a conventional metal conveyor continuously beneath the radiant plate so that a vast number of bread loaves are bakes to perfection in a minimum of time.
