    I use a stainless steel pot with a lid. It's held together by rivets and has no rubber or anything so its surprisingly good for the task. Also helps shape it nicely. Take the lid off about two thirds ish through baking and the crust comes out great. And it doubles as it's original purpose when its not baking bread!

    Alternatively you can slightly wet the dough (surface only, don’t let it soak too much) before baking for similar results

  • @Shiruvi
    @Shiruvi Před rokem +4

    if you don't have a dutch oven you can get a similar effect by placing a second baking tray in your oven on the rack below the bread's rack. preheat the oven and then after you add your bread, carefully pour a cup or two of water into that bottom tray. might need to tweak the water amount depending on what you're baking, and be sure to use a metal tray and not a glass or ceramic dish.

    If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can throw a few ice cubes into the oven as you put the bread in. No more than 3. Put the bread in, throw in the ice, and quickly close the oven without slamming it.
