Dutch ovens are great for baking bread too. They trap moisture in so you get a really nice crust vs just baking it in the open oven

- brigandish 5y agoOf course, if you don't have that or a steam capable oven, just pop the kettle on and put a tray of boiled water in the bottom of the oven and you'll get the same effect.
- dredmorbius 5y agoSuggestions: - Use an old tray, or a cheap one, that you don't mind getting beat to crap. Baking heat + water are very hard on trays. - Also hard on the bottom of many ovens. - Don't use glass. It will very likely shatter either when adding water or due to oven heat. Ceramic likewise. - Iron will rust. Stainless-steel or aluminium are your best bets. When removing the tray (at the end of the oven-spring bake), realise that you have an extremely hot tray full of boiling water. If you guage things right, you'll have very nearly completely boiled off the water.
