Have you noticed a difference in the crust when you start in a cold oven? I
thought that when a loaf hit a blast of heat that it developed a crisper
crust.

Also, do you still see the same amount of "oven spring"?

I know that ABMs start cooking slowly, and I thought that perhaps that was the
reason breads baked in a machine are somewhat inferior.

Just curious.

Thanks!
