So much for my basalt baking stone... now limestone
I posted a couple weeks ago about the lovely baking stone my husband had made for me out of 3/8" thick basalt. We were conceerned about it being too thin. We were right. I baked one loaf and it cracked in half! Here it is:
I also think it might be too big for the oven. Could that be part of the problem? I know it affects circulation.
Anyway, the bread came out great, and of course we know that's what really matters. :)
So now I have a 1/2 piece of limestone sitting here that he plans to have cut to be about a third as big as the basalt was. He's having fun looking at rocks and I'll keep baking. It works.
