Mastering the Convection Steam Oven
HOW TO USE AUTO
STEAM BAKE MODE
Whether you like baguettes, batards, croissants,
turnovers, or pies, the Wolf convection steam oven
allows even the most novice baker to turn out baked
goods worthy of a seasoned professional.
Take baking bread, for example. Combining nothing
more than our, water, salt, and yeast allows for the
creation of a nearly endless assortment of breads,
simply by adjusting the ingredients. But it is an
art, one that takes practice, time, and trial. Here
are a few tips that may help ensure success:
Properly measure all ingredients.“Prettyclose”
is not close enough.
Seek out quality ingredients. It makes a huge difference.
Combine all ingredients properly. Kneading develops
gluten in the bread that is critical to the nal product.
Be patient. Don’t rush the proong process, which
develops the proper avors in the bread.
Shape and proof again – again, patience!
Score the bread. The deep slashes made in bread
dough allow for the expansion or “oven spring” that the
dough goes through after being placed in the oven.
Don’t preheat the oven. The nal risen bread or pastry
must be placed inside the oven cavity while the oven
is still off when using Auto Steam Bake Mode.
