When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time?

When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? - feddit.nl

I have an oven that’s rated to reach 200 degrees C (around 400-ish in F) (I can’t put in higher temperatures on the device), but some recipes tell you to bake at higher temps than that. Does that mean that I can’t bake that item in my oven, or can I just adjust for time? Let’s say the recipe says to bake at 225 degrees C for 25 minutes, I then bake it for 35 minutes at 200?

It would be helpful to know what you’re baking? It might be cooking longer at lower temperature, but it might also be about adjusting the size (a larger cake is usually cooked at a lower temperature to allow the centre to cook before the outside over-browns).

I’d love to try to bake something like a Turkish pide or a focaccia

It’s worth giving it a go! Here’s a recipe that bakes a foccacia at 200°. At worst it’ll be less than perfect, but it’ll definitely be edible!
Light and Fluffy no knead Focaccia — Bake with Jack

Just like in my Baguette Recipe, I make focaccia WITHOUT kneading. Why? Because it creates the kind of focaccia that I like, light and fluffy instead of fine crumbed and cakey.
