  • Publication number: 20080223221
    Abstract: The concept of the invention is to spray a steam mist on loaves of unbaked bread while they are baking. The basic items comprising the invention are a baking stone on which loaves of bread rest, a lid which rests on the baking stone. Further, the lid has a relatively small opening for receiving steam from a steam generator which produces a superheated steam into the chamber formed by the lid and the baking stone. Steam is injected only at the beginning of the baking process and the lid is removed approximately ΒΌ to ? of the way through the baking process. The operator pulls a trigger on a steam generator and a stream of superheated steam is released into the steam chamber. Thus, the operator controls the volume of steam injected into the chamber.
