Instructions

  5. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
  6. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, place the dough inside, and cover with the lid.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a crustier bread, you can add steam to the oven by placing a pan of water on the bottom rack.
  • This bread can be flavored with herbs or cheese for added taste.
  • Store any leftover bread in a paper bag to keep the crust crispy.
