Phyllis there is not a significant difference in gas and electric. You can just put the water in a pan and allow it to boil during the baking process but the results will be different

I am 73 and this sounds so wonderful but am concerned about the steam I have a gas oven is there a difference as to baking from electric and gas? I just can’t see me putting a cup of water on my oven floor. Will also have to purchase a stone? considering purchasing this book thropugh our local library. Phyllis

Cedar, are you misting the oven when you put the dough in to bake? If not try tossing a cup or so of water on the hot oven floor before you close the door to bake the bread. You can also try cooking a little longer.

I love the artisan bread and have ordered the book, but one problem I am having is that when the bread comes out of the oven the crust is nice and hard, but after about l0 minutes in the air it is soft …anyway I can keep it crunchy…..

Well, I made my first loaf. I decided to do the no steam method that they just put up on their website. People posted and said that their glass oven door cracked and that pizza stones cracked with the sudden addition of the steam. It scared me. Have any of you had problems with the steam method??

The bread was fantastic!! It made a small loaf-enough for 5 slices! My husband loved it soo much he had me made another loaf and he made one to! The two loaves are doing the 40 minute rest now. He loves this technique and the bread. I may have to fight him just to make it again alone!
