dm-I have a steam oven, so yes, I use steam for all my bread. I think steam during the initial baking minutes is always beneficial. My oven steams for 2 minutes, then the steam stops. When I went to baking school at SFBI, we manually applied the steam for 10 seconds. We were baking probably 50 baguettes at a time and I loved to use the lever to steam for that 10 seconds!
