The Importance of Baking Conditions on Bread
A well-controlled oven has an important influence upon the overall quality of a loaf of bread. Oven conditions require the heat transfer mechanisms of convection, conduction and radiation. The effectiveness of these mechanisms may influence the choice of oven design and type and play an important role in considering the style of bread to be baked. However, regardless of the oven design, problems may be encountered during the baking process when incorrect baking conditions are applied. Common baking problems include:
