@@SpellboundSourdough Thanks for responding... Bake at 480°F and then 450°F. That's right, I didn't have as much steam as I saw in your video. If I don't have that type of griddle, could I use a cast iron griddle?
@ I would cap the temp at like 470 and see how it does. You’d probably be good around 450-465. Honestly my first batch always browns wayyy quicker because the oven is so hot from preheating. But I need it hot to do a bunch of batches. You can use any kind of pan on the bottom to hold the rocks as long as it’s oven friendly! The misting really helps with the initial steam. Let me know if you try it again! ☺️
Does open baking, change your temperature and bake time? I just tried to bake two loads with the open bake method and completely burned them. I’m so disappointed.
@@MelissaOrtega-q8g 😭 yes it does! Normally using the Dutch oven you’re going to be using a higher temp for a longer period of time. What temp and steam time did you do? Also, each oven holds steam differently so I would try and test with just one loaf to see how well your steam is doing. I’ve been there 😩
Oh gosh! So the first try was 500f for 30 min to 450f for 15 min. My second was 480f for 20 min and 455f for 20. I just followed the recipes and wanted to cry. And I used lava rocks underneath the baking steel. Do you measure how much water you add to the lava rocks cause? Honestly I just eyeballed.
@@MelissaOrtega-q8gI would say 20min steam and then 10ish mins no steam. Anything longer than 10mins I’d watch it lclosely to see if it’s burning. When you take the steam out if you notice the crust looks like it’s hardened too much then you know you’re not getting enough steam. Spraying water over top of the loaves is really helpful either way this too!
Hello, what brand is your oven? I tried to do it in my oven but it burned too quickly and my bread was hard, I can't do it...
Hi! It’s a frigidaire. What temp did you bake at? It seems like you also may not have had enough steam.

And steam times? I just filled the lava rocks during the first part of each bake and then removed it during the second
@@MelissaOrtega-q8g I normally just fill them about 75% of the way up. They’ll steam a lot of the water off before you get them in the oven.
