Critical Success Points

  • Mix dry ingredients thoroughly to distribute yeast and salt
  • Knead just enough to develop a slight gluten network (2‑3 minutes)
  • Allow the dough to double in size during the first rise
  • Preheat the Dutch oven fully before baking
  • Bake covered first to trap steam, then uncovered for a crisp crust

Safety Warnings

  • The Dutch oven will be extremely hot; use oven mitts when handling
  • Steam released when removing the lid can cause burns
