How I Use My Simply Bread Oven | First Bake in My New Sourdough Oven

[@danielnichols3594]

I don't need this kind of volume but that looks like a great oven. Need a good sized kitchen for it or another room.

[@MatthewFisher-v1k]

Great video; those loaves look amazing especially the cut away with all the air cells present. You gave excellent tips that can be used immediately with one loaf in a conventional oven. Thank you

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Hey, thanks for taking the time out of your day to write your comment I appreciate it. I am happy to hear you can immediately apply some of the tips meant for a larger deck oven to a home oven!

[@isabelab6851]

Just a casual baker…but I can see how you love it!

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Yes, it's hard not to!

[@melaniew3192]

there's nothing casual about those baking results...you can tell by just tasting whatever we bake and learn that it's a labour of love and worth the time spent to get it delicious.

[@staceyvaas1210]

Hi Matthew, you’re doing great! I love your videos and the information you share. I’ve learned so much from you.

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Thanks Stacey!

[@kylevanderwoude5925]

I love to hear about the mixer you use.

❤️🤍💙..... great video

Thanks. Nice bread 🍞 😊❤👍🏼

[@MarcyBerlyn]

Great information, Matthew! Thanks you for sharing such valuable and helpful knowledge! What are the dimensions of the stand on which you have your Simply Bread Oven sitting? Do you have any tips regarding making choices in and/or designing features for a stand? Thank you for any feedback you might offer!

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Hey Marcy thanks for watching. It’s a 3x3 or whatever they recommend on the site. I looked into a custom one that fits the boards but it was so much $ and I just got a cheap stand nothing special.

[@katieblackmarketmarvel]

Dang it! Just ordered and received my first oven wish i had that code!!! Maybe o can get it with my second one. 😂

[@matthewjamesduffy]

@@katieblackmarketmarvel good luck w the oven! You’ll need two soon for sure to keep up with all that baking!

[@BrakesBake]

It is definitely a dream, so happy for you. Can you tell me where you got the boards that hold loaves for loading?

[@irinasayenko748]

Awesome video! Ordered my oven last week, super excited to get started. Did you have to change the factory settings for any levels?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

No I haven't changed anything yet but I probably should adjust the decks! If its not too late you might be able to still use my promo to get the accessories pack!

[@chefjeffweiss]

Nice work pal

[@shaweaton5677]

Where did you get those bannetons from!?

[@GrandpaBaker]

Hi Matthew. Thanks for sharing. I have 2 questions about the oven. 1) Is it possible to set different temperatures for each heating element? 2) Is it injecting steam from a separate boiler at top, or injecting water to reservoir at the bottom?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

1). You can't set different temperatures but you can adjust a % of heat to get them all even/the same. 2) Pretty sure its a reservoir at the bottom.

[@kttcali]

What type of basket do you use ?

[@haleyanderson9874]

I'm ordering mine next week, so super appreciative of this video :) thank you! A couple questions for you: 1. I normally bake my loaves at 450 in my convention oven-do you recommend preheating the SB oven to 525 for each bake, and can you explain why you go so high? Is it just because you turn off the oven once you load the loaves in? 2. I bake my loaves in regular bread pans rather than the open bake that I see most bakers doing with the SB oven. I'm unsure if this will cause maybe a darker or even burned bottom of the loaf-do you think that will happen or will it bake normally in the bread pans as the convention oven?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Hey Haley congratulations that's awesome! If you use my promo the team at Simply will give you free shipping and the accessories pack. 1. If you are baking cold breads from the fridge the oven drops when you load the bread a fair bit. The high preset helps buffer that. I know a few other Simply bakers that do 500 but I think 525 is better for my breads. 2. You can bake in tins in the oven and you won't burn the bottoms. You will have to watch the tops if they are pretty tall though.

[@haleyanderson9874]

Thank you so much, super helpful!! I appreciate the quick response. I entered your code at checkout and it says that "the discount code isn't valid for the items in your cart," and all I added to my cart was the oven with the steam integration system. Are there any other parameters for using your code?@@matthewjamesduffy

[@matthewjamesduffy]

@@haleyanderson9874 I think you need to add the accessories pack first. Someone else had the same issue but it worked in the end. You can email me and I’ll try or email simply and they will sort you out.

[@haleyanderson9874]

I just added the bundle and it's still giving me an issue. Just contacted the support team! Thanks!@@matthewjamesduffy

[@damnyousosexy]

Hi Matthew, great video! Do you happen to know what specific kind of stone that is in the oven?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Thanks! As for the stone I do not know.

[@staceyvaas1210]

Could I use this for scones & bagels? How about cinnamon rolls & brioche?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Yes for sure you can. I have done bagels and biscuits. I've done brioche as well but it took a few bakes to get them dialed in.

[@jeffdunas6721]

Good one Matthew like to stop in next time in Toronto 😊

[@matthewjamesduffy]

That would be awesome!

[@willieghost6883]

Im interested in the oven

[@MandalorianFanboy]

Would it be worthwhile to just preheat the oven to 25-50 degrees hotter than you actually want..knowing it will drop when you open the doors...then set it to desired temp after closing doors?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Yes i think so. Lately I have been just letting it rip at 550 then turning it of after firing.

[@simplybreadco]

We can smell the cheese from here 🤤

[@lusineroy]

Question , did you have to adjust the deck percentages ?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

You can but I have not yet.

[@sahinucansoy1881]

When you introduce steam into the oven, do you turn off the heating elements?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

I steam the oven then turn it off once it has been steamed. The steam wont generate if the heating element is off.

[@larryl7011]

@matthewjamesduffy Would you keep it mind for a video and would you be able to post the make/model?

[@wolfcake]

You didn't say what temp you went back to after the first 20. The inference was back to 525. I am in the market for another oven. Do you use it for other things? Thanks !

[@matthewjamesduffy]

I just turn it back on to 525. I use it for a lot of other things.

[@SteveSmith-gh2yh]

Two hour preheat in my opinion seems a lot. I’m sure it needs it but the power usage seems high. Does it wreck you power bill?

[@matthewjamesduffy]

No not at all there’s no noticeable difference in my power bill.

[@SteveSmith-gh2yh]

@@matthewjamesduffy compared to ? Were you using a different oven before?

Hi Matthew, I bought the baking steel plus (20x11) and was trying to find silicone baking mats like the ones you use. Where can I find them? I did look on Amazon, but I want to make sure I get the right ones.

I got them with the Simply Bread Oven.

How many loaves do you do in one day?

It varies. I have a fulltime job, this is just a side hustle.

Yes pretty standard for any oven or appliance like this.
