It took me 4 tries and 6 hours to figure out my sourdough crust was cracking from steam
Kept wondering why every loaf came out with that dull, crackly top until my neighbor mentioned checking the pan depth in my oven, and sure enough the shallow tray was drying out before the first 20 minutes were up, has anyone else fought with steam setup for this long?

Took me three ruined loaves before I noticed the same exact thing.

Man, that's rough... I feel your pain though. Took me four attempts and a smoke detector going off before I figured out my oven runs hot. Now I just set the timer for ten minutes less and hope for the best. Still end up with a brick sometimes, but at least it's a slightly softer brick.
