Has anyone ever used the Cold-Oven method for making bread? I received a "red wing stoneware bread baker" that came with no recipe but had a note saying "Put in COOL OVEN!!" I've done a lot of the no-kneed breads and I have this wonderful graham flour recipe handed down from my mother-in-law (it's an old Finnish recipe), but nothing that starts with a cool/cold oven.

After a little research, I discovered that the cold-oven method can work with some breads - I'm not sure you'd want to use it with all of them, especially my rustic no-knead bread.

I found a simple bread recipe:

Added some rosemary and pepper. Then I put it in, starting with a cold oven, and baked it. You have to keep in mind that the bread is going to rise as the oven heats up, so you have to then cook the bread for slightly longer.


The results: Amazing. Super fluffy, soft, and wonderful.
