It’s good to hear that you went with a pre-heated oven as well. I still need to bake mine but I think my spelt challah will go first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1848853 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 00:11:10 +0000 rachylou 1848853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously gorgeous !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1848849 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 00:09:21 +0000 SandyG 1848849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks beautiful, nom nom! Did you heat your cast iron pot to 500 when empty? And the lid, too?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1848802 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 21:53:56 +0000 gradfashionista 1848802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently made my first loaf in over a decade, and transferred it from the counter to a cast iron pot that was preheated to 500, aka the shock treatment. I baked it covered at 500 for 20min, then 450 for 15min, then uncovered the lid for another 15min. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1846034 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 20:38:20 +0000 Joyce B 1846034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rachy, I think I will do just that. I will proof in the microwave above the stove (off of course) while the oven preheats and will then do the 225 for 30 min including preheat and then 350 for one hour. It's good to know that you also have concerns about the gas, and I will not tell your cousins about their fancy kitchens :). The good thing about gas is that you can always cook even in a power outage... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1846015 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 19:36:02 +0000 rachylou 1846015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I admit that even tho I'm in the food industry, I'm paranoid about gas stoves/ovens. I've only had one in my life in my house and it scared me, lol. The real reason professionals use gas is because electric is too expensive and so they're used to gas. Anyone who says they have a 'restaurant-quality' kitted kitchen makes me laugh... means their kitchen was meant to be thrashed and trashed and they're not gonna spend... yeah, don't out me to my cousins that I'm making fun of them ;)</p> <p>I would just preheat the oven and then put the dough in. Put the dough somewhere warm while you're waiting. You just don't want it to be cold and then bam! hit big heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1845995 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 17:40:07 +0000 Joyce B 1845995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie and Rachy.<br /> Rachy, when my oven is warming up it does give a little gas smell so I always use the vent above to absorb the preheat smell. Maybe what you say is true, it does make sense, but we had a major health scare in the family and I do not want to contribute to any further health issues.<br /> For example we gave up on my delicious barbecues, red meat and most other meats. We stick to fish and fresh fruit and veg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1845993 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 17:31:18 +0000 rachylou 1845993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There shouldn't be gas in the oven like that. It will be burning off immediately as it's warming up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1845965 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 15:09:36 +0000 Angie 1845965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a gas convection oven and followed the recipe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-gaylene-rachy-bread-oven-temp#post-1845950 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:28:01 +0000 Joyce B 1845950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The recipe that Gaylene provided says to start the bread in a cold oven turned to 225, I suppose that works well for an electric oven but what do you do when you have a gas oven? I am not too eager to have all that gas floating around my dough. Will the recipe work if I just proof it a little covered in a moist towel in the turned off microwave while the oven warms to 225 and then put it for less time, 15 min or so at 225 and then 350 for an hour?<br /> Maybe I should just proof like I mentioned for 40 min and then put in the oven at 350.<br /> What do you suggest? </p>
