Sourdough Bread 1st experience
I decided to try my dome to cook my sourdough bread for the very first time and surely I will not follow the “main recipe” of launching at 500°F (I launched at 528) and will probably launch at 600° next time.
I preheated my oven to 750 then let it cool down to around 550 when I went inside to grab my loaf and by the time I came outside and launched the loaf, temp was already at 528. When I cook my loafs on a Dutch oven, I cook at 510 for 15 minutes and then another 25/30min at 415 uncovered. Launching at 528 with the dome door in place and the cap on the flue pipe, the temp dropped to 398 before 15 minutes, I opened the door and the loaf didn’t look very good, so I decided to cook the bread on the lowest flame setting and placed the loaf at the furthest distance from it, I rotated the bread several times to not burn just one side and by the time the temp went up to 460, I turned off the oven, placed the door and cap again and let it cook for another 10min, then turned flame back on for another 10min after temp had dropped to under 400 and finally finished it
At the end it didn’t turned out that bad but I was hoping for better results with less hassle.
