The
Best Bread Baking Temperature
by Beth Scott
Are you baking for the first time? Do you need
to know what is
the best bread baking temperature for you?
Well, the right bread baking temperature for you all
depends on what
kind of bread you're baking.
If you're baking a batter bread (like a banana bread
recipe) your
logical bread baking temperature would be 350 degrees Fahrenheit for
the entire period of baking.
This is because batter breads are a lot like muffins
or any other basic
pastry. And the basic baking temperature for most pastries is 350
degrees.
However if you're baking a rising bread (like whole
wheat bread), your
bread baking temperature can differ a lot from the bread baking
temperature you use for batter breads.
Bread Baking
Temperature For Whole Wheat Bread
A general
bread
baking temperature for rising breads (unless your recipe states
otherwise) and an exact bread baking temperature for whole wheat bread,
is this:
First start by heating your oven up to
400
degrees Fahrenheit. When it is hot, put your bread loaves in, and
bake them for 10 minutes on this bread baking temperature.
When the 10 minutes are up turn the oven heat down
to 300 degrees
Fahrenheit, and bake the bread on this temperature for 30 more
minutes. Then you remove your bread from the oven.
The reasons we use 2 bread baking temperatures are;
- To ensure your bread has a nice light brown
crust, and
- To make sure the bread is baked all the way,
and isn't doughy in the center
Use these bread baking temperature guidelines to
turn out excellent
loaves every time.

your own delicious and healthy bread (which no baker,
beginner or pro,
should be without) "The

Bread Baking Guide!"
