Page reference?
Thirty minutes of steam sounds like too much and I wonder what the boule is sitting on. A 500 g boule barely fits for me, I can only wonder what an 850 g boule might do...but I want to find out.
If memory serves from the CSO thread someone a long time ago tested steam bake for bread and found it didn't work well.
The reference is page 5–297. It appears to be baking in the baking pan that comes with the oven.
Edit to add
Cannot imagine why you would need to preheat a tiny oven like that for one hour. I wish the team was available to explain that.
On the same page is a photograph of what I believe to be the Breville Smart Oven in which they are using a combi- cooker and they claim there is room to put a lid on it. If it really works decently it would be far better for me because I can handle the weight at counter level but not bending over to use regular oven. They are using a smaller 3 quart cast iron combination cooker.
