Should You Pre-heat Your Oven? How to Save Electricity When Baking Bread  @ChainBaker
Uploaded January 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In the beginning of my breadmaking journey I was taught to bake bread in a pre-heated oven. I was instructed to heat the oven for at least 30 – 45 minutes before placing the loaf inside for baking. And ever since I learned that I have never questioned it until now. I have baked well over two thousand breads at home over the years and I have pre-heated the oven for each bake.

My oven is pretty crappy with its single heating element at the top, so I tend to pre-heat it for at least 45 minutes. If we say that it cost me approximately £1 each time, then I have potentially spent over £2000 on pre-heating alone. And it being bill increase season I was eager to finally put a stop to this unnecessary spending and energy wasting.
