1. 1

   Another way to add steam to the oven when baking bread is to bake something else simultaneously that generates steam.

2. 2

   Examples are to roast butternut squash or pumpkin, or bake a panful of apples stuffed with raisins and other good things. Unpeeled potatoes that have been sliced into lengthwise eighths can be tossed with extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with dried oregano and sea salt, and roasted until crispy and golden. All of these can go in the oven at temperatures from 350 to 400 or so, so they are relatively accomodating, yet lend their moisture well, and you end up with another dish to serve along with your fresh bread.
