Oven stone baking bread+ (1 Viewer)

[tofo]

As the tittle suggests
lately I have been baking bread and things

Any way when cooking the bread
it seemed wherever I placed it in the oven
The bottom seemed slightly undercooked/soft
With the top overcooked/hard

Got me to thinking
if I place a thickish 1/2to1inch floor tile
On the oven shelf
bring it up to temperature
place the bread dough on the tile
will that aid the cooking process
And firm up the base of the loaf

I have had the same thing with pizzas
Why this very evening missmanagement
had a thin crust pizza
The centre was soggy and outside firm
Cooked as the instructions required
But I still had a complaint

I am on a fasting day and was [STRIKE]forced[/STRIKE] asked
To try it for my opinion which obviously counts for nuffing
And yes the centre was soggy

So what's the opinion will a floor tile give me a stone bake as such
And do you think the tile will break

As always thanks for your replies

They had pizza stones in Aldi on offer not long ago. Am not sure if a tile would stand the heat, but for it to work it would need to be a fairly thick one.

My fave bread book suggests measuring your oven then buying a paving stone that will fit !!

It WILL be heavy but it will do the job.

To help stop the top overcooking place a pan of boiled water in the bottom of your oven when cooking bread and also spray the dough with water just before baking

We use a pizza baking tray to get a nice crisp bottom on our loaves.
