The answer is either way. But I would say it’s easier to preheat both the lid and the pot (that’s necessary ) and then put the dough on the lid and put the pot over the top. Much easier to put the dough in the lid than to try to plop it in the hot giant pot. Happy baking!

I also need that explained more clearly, Katie W.

I know this has been asked a billion times, but I am still confused. If I use a Lodge cast iron Dutch oven, do I still do it as described in the directions (to put flour in the pot and throw the dough in there). Or am I putting the flour on the lid plopping the dough on the lid and putting the pot on top of that? And if I’m doing the latter, do I preheat the lid AND the pot? Thanks!

Deborah,

Are you using the dutch oven I recommended? How about moving the rack up one level? That’s my first thought. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to think of other ideas.

My bread was delicious. The bottom of my bread was very hard. Can you give me a suggestion to solve the problem for next time? The top was crusty and the center was perfect.

I have tried a similar recipe and instead of inverting the dutch oven place the dough ball on parchment paper for the final rise (use some flour and a bowl to maintain shape to fit in the dutch oven). When you are ready to cook just pick up the 4 corners of the parchment paper and place the dough and paper into the dutch oven following the recipe.

Mikki – Yup! And put the bottom of the pan on top and bake covered for the first half and then uncovered for the second half!

Am I understanding this right…bake the bread in the lid of the pan? Thanks for your help.

It was fun to make bread from scratch (it was my first time!), though I didn’t use bread flour (I didn ‘t even know what that was), and didn’t have a great bread pot/pan to cook the dough in . . . so I got creative. I don’t know if I’d make it super often, but I’m so proud that at least I know how! Is there a good French bread or sourdough recipe that you have? I’d love to try those sometime!
