BREAD REVOLUTION! HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
I was doing the artisan bread. I dusted the cookie sheet with cornmeal and put the dough on top and put it in the oven...and in ten minutes my apartment filled with smoke! I smelled burning and opened the oven and a big puff of smoke blew into my face! What did I do? Please help me!

Re: HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
Have you used cornmeal like that before? I haven't, I'm just wondering if that was the trouble... How frustrating!

Re: HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
That's what I was wondering. But that's what I was supposed to do! How do I save this loaf now?

Re: HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
I remember that the recipe says to put water in a broiler pan, but I never do.

Re: HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
I can't even fit anything to hold water in my tiny oven. Am I doomed?

Re: HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
I wonder if it could be that your oven is too small. I don't know much about it. Edit your OP and make sure that the words "bread revolution" is in the title. You are doing bread revolution, right?

Did the cornmeal burn? Did you have something that had spilled in your oven, which burned when you turned it on?

Mine does that every time--I thought it was normal for the cornmeal to burn a bit in a 450 degree oven.

Re: BREAD REVOLUTION! HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
my cornmeal smokes at that temperature.
I use it to make pizza crust but if I don't want the smoke then I turn the oven down to 425 or use parchment paper instead of cornmeal. You didn't do anything wrong |

Re: BREAD REVOLUTION! HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
Hmmmmm...I thought you were supposed to dust the board you shaped the loaves on with cornmeal, then slide the loaves from that board onto the pre-heated pan. I think it's the loose cornmeal granules that aren't stuck to the bottom of the loaf that are burning and smoking. The cornmeal is only to keep the bottom of the loaves from sticking, so you only need it under your loaves. If there is too much extra around on the pan, it will burn and smoke.
If you can't fit a pan of water in the oven, you could try using a pastry brush to brush some ice water all over the outside of your loaves right before you slide them in. This will still create some moisture and it is used to give bread a good crispy crust. Maybe that could substitute for your water. I don't know that it would help with the smoke issue. does your oven vent out through one of the stove eyes? maybe it's that at that high of a temp if it's not ventilated, it smokes. My mom taught me to always crack the door open a little when broiling to prevent smoke, so if you have a small oven, maybe the 450 is high enough to warrant leaving the door slightly ajar if it doesn't ventilate adequately. Hope you can figure it out. It's no fun to have the house smoked up from trying to cook something yummy.

Re: BREAD REVOLUTION! HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
Silly me, I realized I had cornmeal all over the pan, and that is what was burning!

Re: BREAD REVOLUTION! HELP! SMOKY APARTMENT! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
I learned that the exact same way you did.
OH but I've got one better on you.....imagine the smoking and burning of cookie dough on the bottom of an oven because you a) made the too big b) got them too close to the edge of the pan and c) used a cookie sheet without a lip around the edge to catch the drippy gooey mess.

Kristen
I did the same thing except with apple pie. I filled the pie plate a little too much...
