I would like to enter into the contest to earn the Global Sun Oven by summarizing my experiences with baking with my global sun oven for a year. I want to help others become well versed with an array of recipes to bake in their global sun oven as well as know for myself how to utilize the sun's energy to bake in my global sun oven so when I have an emergency then I will be able to use the global sun oven with ease.
I tried two loaves of tropical medley bread in my global sun oven. I preheated my solar oven for 30 minutes prior to placing the bread inside the oven. Then I placed my two loaves of tropical medley bread in the global sun oven and noticed the temperature of the global sun oven was 275 degrees before I opened the global sun oven. Every thirty minutes I moved the global sun oven to the proper angle such that the global sun oven shadow was evenly distributed on both sides to ensure the best yield of baking time. Each thirty minutes I noticed the temperature stayed right at 275 degrees. After 1 and ½ hours both loaves were fully cooked.
Here is the recipe for the Tropical Medley Bread: Tropical Medley Bread recipe for two large loaves of bread:
