In reply to Jordan. You have to put it in the oven to bake it.

Hi there,
After the dutch oven is heated up, the recipe says to put the dough in, put the lid on, and then bake for 30 minutes. Does this mean to put it back in the regular oven (still heated to 450) or leave it in the heated up dutch oven?

Thank you!!

In reply to Jan. Probably not Jan. The thinner metal may burn the exterior and won't hold the moisture in as well that's needed for a crispy crust. --Rachel

I don’t have a cast iron Dutch oven, but a stainless steel Dutch oven. Will that work?

It’s probably going to be a bit tight Debbi. The bread may rise up and mash against the top of the pot. It’s not the end of the world if it does but it just won’t be as pretty as you might have hoped for. –Rachel

I only have a small Dutch oven, unmarked, but I would guess no more than 3 quart. Will this work? If not, can I halve the recipe? Thanks!

In reply to Jenna Wickersham. I find it dries out after a day Jenna. I'd recommend freezing your loaves well wrapped then warming them just before serving in a warm oven. --Rachel

I am making this for Thanksgiving. Any idea how long the load is good for. I’d like to make 5-6 loaves, but only have 2 dutch ovens.
