Notes
- Heating the Dutch oven in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes before placing the dough helps the cooking process to be faster and the bread crust comes out beautifully crispy.
- Lightly greasing the bottom of the Dutch oven with oil or butter helps with crispy and non-sticky bread. Also, I like to spray the top of the bread with oil for the last 15 to 20 minutes or uncovered baking. It creates a perfectly crispy and golden crust.
- Transfer the bread to a bread bag or cover it with a kitchen towel until it cools down completely before slicing.
