Using a Baking Stone

_______________________________________________________________________________

Use a baking stone for a great crust and oven spring.

They are heavy and take a long time to heat up but
baking stones help create a brick oven atmosphere
for the bread. The crust does not crack on the
bottom and the bread can bake through without
over browning.

Calibrate your oven

_______________________________________________________________________________

Calibrate your oven Especially if your loaves are coming

out too dark or too wet or taking longer to bake than
the recipe says they should. Also, breads may need
lower temperatures when your baking stone is
properly preheated.

If you don't have an oven thermometer and want to fix

an overly dark loaf today, turn your oven clown by 25° F.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Preheat the oven. With or without a baking stone, heating the oven for 1/2 an
hour with no stone or 1 hour with a stone is essential for professional-looking
and tasting results.

How to Preheat an Oven

1. Open the oven to make sure everything has been removed. Some
things Often left in ovens are baking trays and leftover dishes.

2. Rearrange the shelf levels. Put the oven shelves into the position that
you need them to be in for the cooking before the oven gets hot.

3. Check the preheat level required by your recipe. Turn on the oven and
set it to the correct temperature.

4. Wait until the oven reaches the desired temperature before placing the bread
dough inside. Most modern ovens have a setting that lets you either see the
current temperature or beeps when ready. If you have an old style oven, the
best bet is to wait 15 minutes to allow the oven to be fully heated.
