dutch oven bread
Pot-baked crusty loaf
Bread baked in a dutch oven—a heavy, lidded pot that traps steam during the early stages of baking.
The steam creates a crisp, crackly crust while the enclosed heat produces an even rise.
The technique became popular with home bakers seeking artisan-style loaves without professional equipment: I made my first dutch oven bread during the pandemic.
