Bleeker: Those loaves were baked right after they rose. I rounded and let them sit 40 minutes. I turned the oven on 450 and had the stone in there for 30 minutes before I put the dough on. So it should have been warm enough and the dough wasn't cold at all. That's why I was thinking maybe slightly (like 425) lower the temp so it could stay in a little longer without the tops burning. I'm going to pick up the book tomorrow, I found a coupon for 25% off one item at Barnes and Noble
