Convection Bake; Convection Multi-Rack; Pizza - Bosch HIIP054 Use And Care Manual

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.
Heat comes from the upper and lower
2
heating elements. The main
difference in convection baking is that
the heat is circulated throughout the
oven by the convection fan.
The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar
cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat,
yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
-- Slight decrease in cook time.
-- Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tips
• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheet without sides.
• For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1 1/2" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so
that one is not directly above the other (see graphic
below). Use these rack positions.

Convection Multi-Rack

Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat
from a third element behind the back
:
wall of the oven. The heat is
circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan.
The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking
individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits.
It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the
same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks
simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases
slightly.
The benefits of Multi-Rack include:
-- Even browning.
English 27
-- Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one
time.
Tips
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection
Conversion is not activated.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as
cookie sheets without sides.
• If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1 1/2" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so
that one is not directly above the other.

Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the
upper and lower elements is
2
circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
• When baking a frozen pizza:
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
• When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to
prevent crust formation.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the
pan.
• If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for
a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer's
recommendations while the oven is preheating.
• Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the
center of the rack.
• Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza.
• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.
