All in one baking oven.
Because we know how often bakers struggle with space in the bakery and the
location of the boiler room outside the bakery, we launched the ThermoStar
Classic thermooil oven with integrated boiler in 2008, which quickly became the
most popular Kornfeil oven in smaller and larger bakeries where bread is the
cornerstone of the product portfolio.

| 01. | EkoBlok | Bake efficiently and protect the environment at the same time. By using the waste heat from the deck ovens through the EkoBlok, you can reuse up to 20% of the input energy depending on the baking capacity. The recovered energy can be used to heat the proofer or cool your working space. | Detail |

The journey to creating Sydney’s best sourdough bread began in 1997 when brothers Andrew and Christian Connole, along with their father Kerry, decided to restore their local bakery in Bellata and its wood-fired oven in north-central New South Wales. Their goal was to bake beautiful, traditional Italian bread. Neither of them were bakers, and what might have seemed like a crazy idea to some only strengthened their determination to succeed. The turning point, however, was Andrew’s trip to Northern California in the US, where he fell in love with the artisanal baking movement there and its emphasis on naturally leavened sourdough breads baked in wood-fired ovens.
Back home in Australia, armed with a jar of sourdough and a newly acquired 100-year-old kneader, the team set out to create the perfect sourdough bread. For two years, the brothers drove a whopping 450 kilometres from Terrigal to Bellata to make and bake 300 handmade loaves that their father sold at the Paddington markets. But interest and their customer base grew. Eventually, demand was so great that the team had to say goodbye to the small bakery in Bellata where the dream began, and after a short stint in Arncliffe, Andrew now runs Sonoma’s operations from a beautiful warehouse bakery in Alexandria.
The space grows every year, and with it the technology Sonoma uses, but the philosophy and hand-shaping of each loaf remains the same. The ingredients for the iconic sourdough breads are still just organic flour, filtered water, sourdough and sea salt. No industrial yeast or additives are used, and the process remains intentionally slow. Each loaf of sourdough bread takes 48 hours to make – and there’s nothing more unique than watching the baking process with your own eyes.
For Sonoma's new branch in Brisbane, Jordan Miller, the bakery's production manager, chose a ThermoStar Classic compact oven along with an Asistent Com automatic loading machine.
