Anyone Adding Steam in a Breville Smart Oven ?
I just purchased a Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven. I've roasted chicken and baked quick breads in it with wonderful results.
I bought a 12.5" diameter terra-cotta clay saucer and it worked great with Pizza. As well as any oven stone I've ever used.
I'm on to my first sourdough boule tonight and was trying to decide if I should/could add any steam. I put a small ramekin in and preheated it with the clay saucer for a half an hour. When I added the bread I put a couple of ounces of water in the ramekin. I can't really tell how much it might have helped. I removed the ramekin after 10 minutes and there was just a little water left in it. I then turned on the convection fan.
Anyone else trying adding steam in their Breville oven ?
