I use the bread setting almost exclusively for demi-baguettes. Some pics--these are all the same demi-baguettes:

@iggiggiggy  I also use the bread setting for smaller baguettes.

 

I tried using the bake steam setting , but that was by accident not deliberate.  And the bread turned out well.  But I like that the bread setting steams the dough at the beginning of the bake and then stops.  Makes for a better crust without constant steam.

I do the same. I've used the CSO on 100 degrees and steam function, too, but I prefer the microwave. 

 

@kayb I just proof on the counter.   A cooler temperature, so it takes a little longer, but I like the results better. 

I tried the proofing function on the CSO, just to see how it worked.   I bake on a stone which meant transferring the proofed loaf from a baking sheet to the stone and it was awkward.  Easier to transfer a proofed loaf from a floured  bread board with a transfer board.

I tried using the bake steam setting once, but that was an accident.  And the bread turned out well.  But I like that the bread setting steams the dough at the beginning of the bake and then stops.  Makes for a better crust without constant steam.
