Someone asked, “What exactly does steam do when baking bread?” So I thought to explain here so other beginners will know why. Steam keeps the crust soft in the early bake, giving the dough room to expand fully. Combine that with proper scoring, and you get loaves that rise beautifully instead of bursting randomly. Steam scoring = bread that blooms. As always, I hope this helps. #baking #sourdoughtips #bakingforbeginners Vc: u/velaroye | Neme's Kitchen
