Wood fired pizza restaurant in Kent, Ohio

Brimfield Bread Oven is a charming European style bakery located in Brimfield Township, Ohio. Using simple ingredients and traditional methods, everything at this bakery is made from scratch and baked in a wood-fired oven. Founded by Jud and Genevieve Smith, the bakery originally started as a cottage foods bakery in 2014 and has since grown into a beloved community spot. The bakery's wood-fired oven is a central feature, requiring the bakers to be part bread baker and part lumberjack. The wood used is a combination of locally sourced slab wood scraps and wood gathered from fallen trees in the area. The oven is heated each night before baking, allowing the masonry to saturate with heat. Baking in a wood-fired oven adds a unique flavor to the bread and requires careful temperature management.
