FAQ
Q: Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes, bread flour can be used, which will give the bread a slightly chewier texture due to its higher protein content.
Q: What if I don’t have a Dutch oven?
A: You can use any heavy oven-safe pot with a lid. If you don’t have a lid, cover the pot with aluminum foil.
Q: How do I know when the bread is done baking?
A: The bread is done when it has a deep golden-brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read about 200°F (93°C).
Q: Can I add sweet ingredients like raisins or honey?
A: Absolutely! You can add up to 1/2 cup of dried fruit like raisins or cranberries, or a few tablespoons of honey for a sweeter loaf.
