Hello guys!
Any idea why does my f***ing bread cook unevenly? On the top its quite dark while on the bottom and sides it is pale. Ive done the cooking in oven (250C) for 30 minutes, with some water boiling on the bottom to create steam, and using a bread casserole. I think the dough is fine and I am doing something wrong with oven.. I did oil the bread before oven with cold water.
What material bread pan are you using? That can affect the time and even-ness of a bake

take it out of the bread pan when there 10 min left

Its quite stiff glass, also I am not sure if the flour is right.
What kind of pan should I use and if anyone can recommend flours for frenchbread kind of breads I would really appriciate.
cheers
that's what happens with most bread pans
once it sets solid after 10 or so minutes, take it out the pan so that the air gets around it evenly.
that way only the bottom will be pale
although you can also turn it upside down halfway through to fix that as well

I like metal pans better imo, they seem to conduct heat a little more evenly for bread. But honestly it's just a minor difference

Series question as someone who makes bread (for myself not for a job): why does it matter?

Cover the bread snugly with aluminum foil, then place in preheated oven. You can reuse the foil many times.
The bread will have a very soft crust (which is what I like, personally). If you want crust, remove foil early.
Don't need steam with this method, either.

I was making bread with pan for the first time, actually it was quite good otherwise but slicing it was almost impossible because it was hard on the top but very smooth on the bottom :D, I think with that fixed it will be ok to eat (hopefully :--D).

Turn the bread sideways and slice.
cover it lightly with alu foil
the later you remove it, the paler the top is gonna be
