Steam setting in oven
Hello,
I have a Samsung convection oven with a steam setting. Should I use it to bake my bread or just continue with the pan water?

You should definitely try it out. The steam function certainly won't ruin your bread. Different methods for adding moisture to the bake have varying results... and can ultimately depend on your preference. Personally I use rolled up towels that I've soaked with hot water, placed in a cast iron grill pan.
You may want to consider baking without convection... my oven has "Bake" and "Convection Bake" setting, and for breads I prefer "Bake".
I am going to be moving and plan a major kitchen remodel once I get settled. I looked up the Samsung oven as I wanted the steam assist also. The reviews are ALL over the place about the oven/s. I sure would love to know how long you have had yours and hear about the bread baking and see pictures too. Would be a great help for me personally as well as others who are in the market for a new oven. Thanks and looking forward to a report soon. c
