SC - Crusty bread

[Charles Dean]

Hello all,

Two very effective methods to get steam in into a
oven are:
1) Get a kitchen spayer and mist the oven when you put the
loaves in and then again after 5 minutes of baking.
Be careful not to mist the oven light or bang the
door when you close it.

2) Put a pan containing a few ice cubes in the bottom
of the oven as you put the loaves in. The ice cubes
help spread the time you have a humid oven.


Less effective but handy is to wet the surface of the loaf
just before you bake it.
