New oven and crust won't brown or get crusty
Help! We have a new electric oven and my crust won't get brown and is not crusty. I bake on a preheated baking stone with a preheated pan below which I fill with hot water when I put the bread in the oven. I've used the same recipe and same method with my old electric oven and was happy with the results. I tried not using a pan with hot water and that didn't help. I tried spraying water after I put the bread in and that made it worse.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks, Sliss
