This list is great -- I'm spending a ridiculous amount of time reading the posts -- my husband thinks it's hilarious.  And I'm really enjoying my beginner's attempts at bread-making.  Quick question:  My (one lonely!) bread book advises to spray a bit of water into the oven.  But there seems to be general agreement (from what I've read so far, anywa, on this list and elsewhere) that the more moisture, the better.  So....  I've just been tossing a cup or two of water into the bottom of the oven and then slamming the door shut.  It immediately turns to steam, of course.  The results seem good...  I wonder, though, if I am going a bit overboard and risking my landlord's oven!  Thoughts?

I have a Misto oil sprayer (link: http://www.misto.com/index.shtml ) and would like to use it to spray liquid lecithin/oil mix to spray my bread pans. The lecithin seems rather thick, even when it is mixed with vegetable oil ( 2 parts oil to 1 part lecithin).

Has anyone done this? I don't want to wreck a $10 appliance and their site does not address this issue.

Does anyone know of a place to buy a sprayer that I can put my own olive oil in? King Arthur has one but it's $20.00, yikes. Anyone know of a less expensive one?
