Baking stone on oven floor and massive failure
So, I spent the last two days plus this morning working on the pate fermentee baguettes from Crust and Crumb. I was reading the bit about oven prep and decided to try putting the baking stone on the oven floor (I have a gas range).
Well, it was a massive, massive failure. The bread bottoms were scorched within the first ten minutes. I tried saving it, or at least finish baking see the crumb so I turned the loaves upside down. That was scorched to within 5 minutes.
Moral of the story, I am never putting the stone on the oven floor again.
I don't even know how I'm going to clean the stone now and get the scorched bread parts off.
