Do you need a special oven to be a good baker?
Hi all.
Am feeling a bit overwhelmed with al the beutiful pictures of pastries, breads, backed goods, cakes, pizzas, etc.
I have heard that most memebers here have wood-fired ovens and only in such an environment can one be able to bake breads, pastries, bagels, or pizzas excellently.
And was just wondering-- can any of these beautiful creations be made of great promise in a regular old conventional oven? I just dont have the time to make a WFO or the money to purchase one, so I was hoping I wasnt alone here.
Also-- we have a smaller convection oven on the countertop, could that help out a bit?
Thanks all for any help!
