How Do You Bake Bread In A Convection Oven?
A convection oven circulates air throughout the baking chamber, enabling more heat to come into contact with the surface of the baking bread. This lets you bake your bread at a lower temperature. Preparing the oven to create steam prevents the baking bread from drying out. Starting the bread in a hot oven helps the bread to rise in the convection baking, but make adjustments to the temperature when using a convection oven for the best results.
