"The Bread Ovens of Quebec" by Lise Boily and Jean-Francois Blanchette
This is a thorough study of the traditions that arose around bread
baking in the rural areas of Quebec up until the middle of this century
with a focus on the unique clay ovens that were ubiquitious in that
state. Detailed building instructions and excellent photographs
throughout. A most inspiring book relating bread baking to the local
ecology, economy and community in a way that is lost to industrial
society. This book tugs at our hearts and points the way back.

PS I just watched an old 1930's ( 40's?) movie "Johnny Belinda", about
a deaf mute girl in Canada, the opening scene shows a woman taking
bread from a Quebec style earth and stone bread oven, just like the
ones shown in the book.
