Burned Bottoms!

     Hello,

         I found your site through Mr. Reinhart's blog. For Thanksgiving, I tried his

     white bread variation #1 in the cluster-roll format, baked on parchment and

     sheet. After about 15 mins. at 400 F.-- and I can't verify temp. accuracy--

     the bottoms were burning though the tops were not even brown. By cutting

     away the bottoms, a disaster was clumsily mitigated. Can you please tell me

     how this would happen?

     Cordially, MReg.

Burnt bread

Move the shelf up one notch in your oven.

hole in the middle and properly brown outside, undercooked insid

I made a buttermilk oatmeal bread which looked wonderful until I got 1/3 through.  The inside had a large hole and it was sticky around the hole.

Wild Yeast starter

Hi -

Can I substitute a vinegar for the pinapple juice?

Where can I find an oven-shelf sized stone to help stabalize my oven temperature?

Thanks

Sam

oven stone

You might look into places that do custom stone counter tops... they have lots of stone stuff, and scraps. They might have what you need really cheap.
