Baking times
Hi
I hope all is good.
I've been baking for a couple of years now and there is still a lot to learn. I use a Dutch oven and bake a 1000g loaf. I tend to put the oven on with the DO in it for an hour at top temp. Transfer dough carefully, replace lid and bake for 25 mins at highest, then remove lid reduce to Gas 7 and bake for another 15 mins. It looks good every time and tastes great.
But I am never sure if I have over done it.
What should I look for for an over bake?
Many thanks
