Do you mean one of those ~3-gallon pressurized sprayers you might use for pesticides, etc? Sounds like a great solution.
That's what CanuckJim uses. Very no-tech, but it works a treat. I'm pretty sure he posted a picture in another topic a while ago, but it's just like this: ANTOnline.com - The Gilmour Group 030PEXG 3 Gal Operating Lawn & Garden Sprayer

Thanks for that.

Dutch, I can imagine that dealing with larger volumes of bread, weather and oven temperature can be stressful. Do you find that the couche really changes the character of the bread, when compared with final proofing on a board?

James and all
We usually steam it until it rolls out of the oven a minute or so before loading the oven...then the same amount just before closing the door...no specific time really...remember to vent the steam about halfway through the bake if you want a bit of a crisper crust.
There are a lot of things to juggle with WFO baking...I would not say that the couche alters the character of the bread but it can give you more options as far as the outward appearance. Slack doughs proofed on a board tend to spread out and not up but if you keep them in a couche they tend to get puffier...sometimes puffy enough that you can give them a few pokes with your fingers...a little more stressful on transferring because it is very easy to deflate them....but you can kind of stretch them out a bit when you load them and get some different looks...if you use a couche and stretch it a bit you can get what I think is called "stirato"...looks kind of like a pain l'ancienne baguette.
We followed the formula today using 2/3 bread flour and 1/3 APF and were pleased with the results from the gas oven in the kitchen. Still seems that our dough was a bit more slack than yours...made some really tasty bread though...had roasted pepper and provolone sandwiches for luch
Best

Do you have any video of pizza cooking in the Primavera 60?

Hello Erasmo,

I've been planning on doing that in the next few days. Funnily enough, I baked a lot of pizza in the Primavera when we were building and testing the prototypes, but never did a video. Getting the oven temperature just right for a hearth loaf is one of the more challenging things you will do in your Primavera -- more difficult than pizza (I think) -- so I wanted to get that video done and show that side of the Primavera oven.

The kids are off school for two days for mid-term break, and I will do the pizza video after they are back in school.

Stay tuned...
James

I tried making a rack from steel mesh to fit over my bottom loaf so I could have a second loaf above it. Well it didn't work. I think the metal tray that the upper loaf was on just reflected the heat away from the lower loaf by shielding it. These wood ovens work by radiation of heat not like a standard convection oven. Also there is no fan to circulate the heat. I will only do single layers now. A metal baking tray avoids the burning bottom and also avoids problems sliding the loaf a la pizza style. I use a small pie dish 1/2 full of hot water, placed in the oven with the bread.

Cooking is one of my specialties. While in the US Army Reserves I learned about Cooking. Indoor, outdoor and cooking using a utensil over an open flame was fun and easy with cast iron cookware. I remember the outdoors and the smell of cooking, accompanied by the chorus of the squirrels, crickets and birds, during bivouacs.

The most ordinary form of cooking is campfire cooking. For families it is particularly well fitting, it is an activity which presents an opportunity for pleasant evenings and outings. It has its own taste and fancy. Skill and knowledge is required, but both are easily acquired. Cooking is a tradition in itself and some cooks have years of experience both on safaris and at home. It is one of my favorite things in life. It is great; however, most open flame cooking is done in campgrounds. Credit to improvements in camping cooking gear and a horde of easy-prep and in-store ingredients, it need not be limited to burgers, dogs and smokes. Another unique way of cooking is to cook some food items inside of other foods. Another unusual cooking, using a utensil over an open flame method, is cooking in paper. An unfussy and simple way of outdoor cooking is to set a large coffee can on the coals. The days of utilitarian campfire cooking of yesteryear are gone. Try out a few odd techniques the next time you're out camping.
