Bread in a nu wave oven

Also a lot of professional bakers use plastic storage bins (like the kind you get to store sweaters and such in) from places like Target and use those to store their dough. You could do many batches separating them with some parchment paper, tear off a piece of parchment much longer than the container, lay it down - place a log of dough on one end, pull some of the parchment up against that dough hunk like a wave, then place your next batch alongside it the same way. Saw this on a video for making ciabatta baguettes on YouTube using a Silpat mat.

Love this guy's videos:

Let us know how it works out in the nu wave for sure. I have one and LOVE IT!! Never thought of bread... I know you can bake a cake in it... It rocks for meat though...even from frozen. I love it in the summer, I don't have to heat up the oven and heat up the house along with it.

what tempature and for how long for a loaf of bread

Old thread but, It came up in search so I will post what I have learned, I like my nuwave's. I have both PIC and oven. Manf stated that oven has limitations. One seems to be a loaf of bread. P10 temp is only about 340-350 degrees. Most bread that I bake needs 400 degrees to reach internal temp of 190-200 without burning outside and getting center done. Just my two cents that I have learned.
Oh yeah, I have not tried covering the bread with foil to prevent top from burning.

I just read a great tip for breadmaking multiple loaves. After making the dough, put into a greased ziploc bag and refrigerate. After all loaves are done and you are ready to bake, take out and get to room temperature.

For the NuWave oven breadmaking tip, check out this URL by Mrs. Oliviera: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1JJEPSDVM86TU. I am going to try it when Santa delivers my NuWave oven. We are RVing full time and although I love cooking with gas, it is very difficult for me to light my oven as I am left-handed and the pilot is on the right UNDER a solid oven bottom and clear in the back. Other campers have told me they love their NuWave oven and use it for just about every kind of cooking.

I replied earlier, however the link I sent did not publish. Try this.
Go to the Amazon website and look for a customer review for the NuWave oven by Mrs. S.A. Oliviera. She said this:
"I prepared a 1 lb. loaf in a Toastmaster bread machine, shaped the loaf, and let it proof for 25 mins. on top of the toaster oven set @ 125 degrees. I use commercial steel bread baking pans and these will conduct and hold heat without over browning or burning. Using the 1" rack, I started the Nuwave @ HiPower and baked the loaf for 5 mins. Then I lowered the power to 80% and continued baking the loaf for an additional 30 mins. I did not need to shield the top of the loaf with foil because it did not overbrown. Amazing for this type of recipe! The bread turned out perfectly, voila! I use only two bread recipe books: THE JEWISH BAKER'S COOKBOOK and Fleischmann's Yeast BREAD MACHINE FAVORITES. These recipes are "no fail," so I stick with them and am never disappointed. I never bake in the bread machine. The baker may have to adjust power level and baking time depending on the recipe and type and size of baking pan."

As soon as Santa delivers my NuWave, I am going to try this! Happy baking.

Know that this is an old old thread....however, I've discovered that you can make 'hard boiled eggs'
in NuWave oven. I put the eggs in with the rack in the lowest position and set for 8-minutes for pullet eggs -- probably 9-min would be fine for big eggs -- full size. Have done this about 4 times--- once an egg 'exploded' -- or rather some of the shell blew off -- when I had the eggs with rack in high position.

Sometimes the eggs 'sweat' and the shell gets dark specs. from that protein browning in the oven. Love that you can just set and forget and you don't have to wait for water to boil or worry about being there to turn off. May experiment with a lower power -- but right now have just used full power.
Who knew you could do that?
