Just finished baking my first batch. My husband and I love this bread. I'm having a problem with my oven, though. After baking at 450 for 30 minutes, the oven will not shut off right away. I lower the temp after I take the bread out and then I have to wait about 10 -15 minutes before the touch controls work again. Is it possible to get the same results at a somewhat lower temperature? Or preheat to 450 to get the steam and then lower to 425 or 400? How long to bake at the lower temp?
