Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it set out for 12-18 hours. I know it seems like a long time, but it will be worth it and the bread will be amazing!

Preheat the oven to 450 F.  Now typically, artisan bread calls for baking the bread in a cast iron pot with a lid (such as a Le Creuset).

I do not have one of these fancy shmancy pots (though I’d love one!), so I used an old crockpot liner. Please don’t ask why I have an old crockpot liner, that’s a whole other story. 🙂

Anyway, this worked great for baking this bread! I did remove the handle from the lid since it is plastic!! Now back to the recipe – place the pot and lid in the heated oven. Let sit in the oven for 30 minutes.

While the pot is heating through, take the super sticky dough out of the bowl and place on a very floured surface. Shape into a ball (do not knead it). Cover with the plastic wrap you were using earlier.

Once the pot is ready, remove it from the oven. Place the super sticky dough in the HOT, HOT pot. Please be very careful!!

Put the lid on top. (Since I am using the old crockpot liner without the handle on the lid, I put my lid on upside down for easier removal later.) Bake at 450 F for 30 minutes.

Your bread will look beautiful. Remove the lid and bake another 15 minutes.

Wala! Remove the bread from the pot and let cool on a wire rack. Your house should smell wonderful and you should feel very proud. What a creation. Enjoy!

  1. I followed the recipe exactly as written, using water at a temperature of 72 degrees, as that was the room temperature in my home. But I didn’t get a ball of dough after mixing; it was very watery and not formed at all. What did I do wrong? Should I have added more flour? The 3 cups that the recipe called for didn’t seem to be enough and their was no rise in the dough (and I used rapid rise yeast). Help please!

  2. Oh no, I haven’t had that issue. I would add 1/2 cup of more flour and see if that helps. Thank you!

  3. 5 stars
    Simple process and great results.
    I used a saucepan with 8.5″ diameter and 4.5″ deep with metal handles and a glass lid. The flour was strong white bread flour.
    Very happy with the outcome.
    Thank you for sharing.

  6. When I added the water, the dough seemed very dry, not wet and sticky the way you made it sound. I added a tad more water and I’m hoping the consistency changes after letting it rest.

  7. Let us know how it turns out. Mine was a little sticky so I think adding a bit more water was a great idea.

  10. 5 stars
    Made the dough last night substituted garlic salt for regular salt added 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon onion powder…baked this morning in my Dutch oven on parchment paper…rubbed 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top before baking…perfect and yummy..a new favorite in our home..can’t wait to switch it up and try new seasonings..thank you
