Divide & Pre-shape

Transfer dough to a floured work surface.

If baking more than one loaf, divide the dough into equal pieces using a bench scraper.

Shape each piece into a rough round.

Cover and let rest for about 30 minutes.

2:57p

Shape

Line two (or as many as the recipe calls for) proofing baskets with some flour to keep the dough from sticking.

Dust the tops with flour and flip so the seam is facing up.

Shape by folding each of four corners of the round into its center.

Flip the round so the seam side is down.

Make each round taut by rounding with the edges of your hands.

3:07p

Proof

Transfer rounds to the proofing baskets with the seam side facing up.

Cover and let rest, either at 75 °F to 80 °F for about 1 ½ hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare & Score

Remove the baskets from the refrigerator if proofing in the fridge.

Dust the tops of the dough, still in their baskets, with flour.

Score the top of the loaf using a bread lame.

Carefully place the lid on the pot.

5:12p

Bake

Carefully place the pot in the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 500 °F.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 450 °F, carefully remove the lid, and bake for another 18 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown color and just as the score marks begin to burn.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
