crusty bottom
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:23 pm
I've been making bread using King Aurthur Bread Flour...I bake it on a stone pre-heated to 450* F...the dough is brushed with either egg wash or corn starch wash,to give it a crust.Then I sprinkle sesame seeds on top...I bake
the bread on parchment paper that I slide onto the stone,which is on the 2nd rack in the oven.I pour 1/2 cup of water into a pan that is on the first rack,to create steam.Seems I always get a crusty top,but I can never get a crusty bottom...any suggestions?
