re: preheating the oven

Coming out of Lurkdom here to announce that yesterday I made the Rosemary 
Walnut loaves in the new issue of Cooking Light, which called for 
preheating the oven to 400F, then reducing it to 375F upon placing the 
loaves into it.  They came out great and tasted fabulous, though I did lose 
some dough  "rise" when slashing the tops with my Exacto knife.  Guess it 
wasn't as sharp as I thought it was!
