Bread-baking
The information in the table contains only guide values. It may
vary depending on the type and amount of dough.
The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a
tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
You should set the lower of the specified temperatures the first
time. Lower temperatures will generally allow more even
browning.
Please note the information about preheating in the table.
