Don't Do This At Home
I was talking with Redbeard about steam and bread, and he reassured me that steam is good for bread. Helps you get that thin crispy crust. So I decided that the batard I am experimenting with today deserved the steam treatment. There's lots of interesting ways to get steam into your oven at the right time, but one of the more sensible ways is given in this post. It's quite sensible, that is, until you go and try to use a pyrex pan instead of an old metal baking pan or cookie sheet. Man, I should have known better. I once exploded a light bulb with a squirt gun on accident. That was less spectacular than this was.
