I notice that my fan bake option doesn't seem to be working - after 20 mins the temperature was just up to 75deg!

I will get it fixed but in the meantime I need to bake some bread. I use Nadia Lim's recipe that rises the bread in the tin on fan bake at 50deg, turning up the oven to 200deg for 35 mins to cook.

Can I use fan forced with the same results? Or should I use bake?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ali, I would use bake for this I think.
Good luck.
My oven has just died, decided to grill only. As it was going to be $800+ to repair it I bought a new one which was installed today.
I only realised then that my existing oven is 100cm and my new one 90! aargh.
It seems as though 100cm wide is an oddity so now I have a gap which is very annoying but there is little I can do.

Thanks Helen

I guess I would up the temperature 10 deg?

Probably too late for this, but I make no-knead bread (an Alison Holst recipe) and rise it by turning oven on to about 50 deg C, turning oven off and rising bread in residual heat - it takes about 30 mins.
