  • Preheat your oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside. Once heated, carefully transfer the dough along with the parchment paper into the Dutch oven. Use a sharp knife or bread lame to score the top of the dough, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.

  • Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and it sounds hollow when you tap the bottom. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
