    Re: A newbie?s survey of the Forno Bravo treasures hiding in the archives

    Instead of trying to place the bread into the Dutch oven (which I found hard to do) I place the bread on a hot baking stone and cover with the up-side down Dutch oven.

    That way you do not disturb the bread as much and the results have been great. Except for one time when I pinched the edge of the dough under part of the Dutch oven and created a little crunchy crusty bit that hung out. But that bit was tasty also. So ..... no problem. This technique works in the WFO also when you are making a small batch or single boule but I use it most often in the house oven when making a loaf or two for the family.

      Quite so, that challenge is the reason I pour the dough (after 18 an hour ferment) into a mixing bowl or another dutch oven, lined with parchment paper. The (covered) dough rises 2 more hours . Then, I take the four corners of the paper, lift the dough, and place it in the preheated dutch oven (with the paper). Easy Peasy! :-)

      Of course, this all works well the day after baking pizza, pizza, pizza!

      P.S. Thanks for the pdf's Mike!

      I try to learn from my mistakes, and from yours when you give me a heads up.

            Mrchipster posted his design for a cutting board to assist in cutting your bricks during your oven build HERE. :-)

                September bump...try making a fruit crumble, pumpkin pie or savory bread pudding in your oven this fall. WFO heat does a nice "crust" with all, just don't start with a cold, glass pan and use an inverted cookie sheet as a platform if your hearth temp is a bit too high. Also try some apple or tomato tarts to use up some of the goodies being harvested now...(unless you're in the southern hemisphere )

                      • Here's an update/info post to keep this thread near the top of the list. The link below is to page 3 of the "Favorite pan, tool or gadget..." thread. I uploaded a pdf of my favorite dozen tools for baking & working a WFO and attached it to post 45 on that page...hope it might be an additional "food for thought" resource and appropriate here.

                                Thanks! Your response is the reason we took the time to make the post and update it, (while it was still possible to keep it current). Good luck on your journey. :-)
