From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Oven       Heb. tannur, (Hos. 7:4). In towns there appear to have been       public ovens. There was a street in Jerusalem (Jer. 37:21)       called "bakers' street" (the only case in which the name of a       street in Jerusalem is preserved). The words "tower of the       furnaces" (Neh. 3:11; 12:38) is more properly "tower of the       ovens" (Heb. tannurim). These resemble the ovens in use among       ourselves.                There were other private ovens of different kinds. Some were       like large jars made of earthenware or copper, which were heated       inside with wood (1 Kings 17:12; Isa. 44:15; Jer. 7:18) or grass       (Matt. 6:30), and when the fire had burned out, small pieces of       dough were placed inside or spread in thin layers on the       outside, and were thus baked. (See {FURNACE}.)                Pits were also formed for the same purposes, and lined with       cement. These were used after the same manner.                Heated stones, or sand heated by a fire heaped over it, and       also flat irons pans, all served as ovens for the preparation of       bread. (See Gen. 18:6; 1 Kings 19:6.)
