It basically shortens the rise time and uses the heat in the oven while it comes up to temp. You need to use a lower temp for a fan oven so the other temp is for a regular convection oven yes.

I'm using this method and producing successful loaves each time. I've tried using a banneton but despite preparing it by misting and flooring the dough sometimes sticks.

The mix seems really wet, and when cooked, it is very crunchy on the outside and sounds hollow when tapped, but when I cut it it is still really moist and stodgy inside. I tastes a bit like a crumpet. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220692996983168821noreply@blogger.com
