Pequod Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 My second experiment with the steam oven. This time I used 400g of ice and got a full 15 minutes of steam. Not bad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Bread looks fantastic. Not sure about all that extra moisture in the KK but what the hell, I'm game for experimentation (missed the first steam oven thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Can't claim to have invented it. @Syzygies posted the technique originally, although having trouble finding his thread. My first thread is here: It's based on the method for creating steam described in the Bouchon Bakery book. Bottom line is that artisan bread making benefits from steam. Professionals use steam ovens. Covered pots - the CI Dutch Oven technique - are all about trapping the moisture in the dough to create a steamy environment. This is just a method for making a steam oven without a CI DO.
