2. Key to fermentation:It is recommended that the first fermentation be carried out for 90 minutes in an environment of 26-28°C. When the volume expands to 2 times, use a finger dipped in flour to poke a hole to check. If it does not shrink, it is successful.
3. Plastic surgery techniques:Divide the dough into 3 equal parts, roll it into a round shape and let it rest for 20 minutes. Use a rolling pin to deflate the dough and roll it into a cylindrical shape. When placing it in the toast box, make sure the closing edge is facing down.

| bread type | preheating temperature | Baking temperature | time | location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 450g toast | 200℃ | 180℃ | 35min | Lower middle class |
| baguette | 230℃ | 220℃ | 25min | middle level |
4. Analysis of Common Failure Causes

2.Oven steam method:When preheating, put the cast iron pot in, pour 50ml of boiling water into the oven and immediately close the door to simulate the steam function of a professional oven.
3.Cryopreservation:After the baked bread is cooled, slice it and freeze it. When re-baking, spray water on the surface and heat it at 150℃ for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
According to the latest practices of baking experts across the Internet, after mastering these skills, home ovens can also produce delicious food that is not inferior to professional bakeries.
