Hi! I see your heating element is only using bottom heat. Am i correct? I have an oven with the fan. Would you suggest I turn it off and also use lower heat only?
Not totally necessary, you can use rolled up towels soaked in the boiling water in a pan instead. The point is to keep continual steam flowing for that first part of the bake.
Ugh 😫 Now I need LAVA ROCKS?? OMGOSH, this will be the reason my sourdough starter is generations old.... But never used. No Dutch oven.... No proofing baskets... And now: No lava rocks 😭😭
