    Nice! Do you freeze one?

    Can you elaborate on the biggest change in shaping the loafs?

    Thanks!

    I bake around 2–3 loafs a week. Freezing half loafs quite often to make grilled cheese sandwiches with during the weekend.

    True,

    Do you bake the loaf in an oven? Or do you use a Cast Iron pot?

    Best method to bake a single Sourdough loaf?

    Following up to my [previous post](https://lemmy.world/post/4784789), I'm really curious what your go-to method is for baking a single sourdough loaf. Currently, I'm using a Dutch oven (cast-iron pot) and a spray bottle to add some extra moisture to the dough. But definitely getting mix results. Drop a comment below. Let's learn from each other 👇

    No, that one had way more crunchiness.

    What’s your go-to method right now? Did you do the comparison between a Dutch Oven and just a oven with a tray of hot water on the button?

    It had the same baking time as the steam oven version. Around 45 - 50 minutes. Maybe it was the temp of the cast iron pot..

    Haha. What's wrong with Dutch bread? It's cheap, sweet, and you can store it for multiple days. Lol. (I'm Dutch, I get your disapproval for our bread baking skills).

    In this case, I'm referring to a cast Iron pot aka a Dutch oven.

    Steam oven vs Dutch oven experiment https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0f8d87ab-6582-4a16-901f-ecc42c2ec7f6.jpeg

    Had a little experiment last night with two portions of the same dough. The one of the left is baked with the steam-oven. I just used the standard bread recipe in the oven's settings. The one on the right is baked with a Dutch oven. Tried to get the variables (like scoring etc.) as consistent as possible. What a different. Any thoughts? The only thing I can think of is that the Dutch oven wasn't the same temp as the oven, so that stopped the rise of the loaf on the right.
