Set your oven to this

No oven dial has a 428 °F mark. Recipes treat 220 °C and 425 °F as the same setting — gas mark 7 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 200 °C.

220 °C is a genuinely hot oven — the setting for the first ten minutes of a loaf of bread, for blistering vegetables, for roasting at speed and for pizza on a stone. At this temperature timing starts to matter far more than it does lower down the dial.
