When I put the bread in the oven, I throw an ice cube or two in one of the pans to produce steam. A little while later, I throw some in the other pan. (It would probably be better to get a container which would retain the heat better than the thin aluminum pans, but the method seems to work for me.) Bob Manson University of Toronto
