    If your only baking one loaf , Place the other section in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

    Place one section of the dough in a heavily floured bowl and cover once again until the dough rises to doubles in size.
  • Step 6
    Pre-heat a large heavy dutch oven pan with the lid on in a 450° oven for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Carefully remove the heated dutch oven from the oven and PLOP the dough in the pot , Cover and return the dutch oven back to the hot oven.
  • Step 8
    Bake @ 450° for 30 minutes ,when done baking ; Remove from the dutch oven and place bread on a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
