The rate of evaporation would be affected by the temperature of the pan, the temperature of the water as you added it, and your oven. It shouldn't have any effect on the size of the loaf- that's based on how you scaled it, and the point at which you chose to bake the final risen loaf. Happy baking! Laurie@KAF
