Have it your way. The idea that most people need a professional oven to make first class bread is rediculous and I've never heard any serious bread maker say so in any book or article. I think I know what good bread tastes like and my domestic oven does it.
Let's move on otherwise we'll simply bicker.
When I was growing up, my mother made bread. As much as I love a baguette in France or La Brea bread, I have never had any better than my mother's bread, still warm from her
piece of crap oven.
