- 13Dust the shaped dough with flour.
- 14Make a slit on the top of the dough with a knife.
- 15Carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven.
- 16Cover the Dutch oven with its lid.
- 17Place the covered Dutch oven back into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- 18After 30 minutes, carefully remove the lid from the Dutch oven.
- 19Return the uncovered Dutch oven to the oven to further brown the top of the bread for 5 to 10 minutes.
- 20Once baked to your desired golden brown, carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven.
