That looks delicious!

Did you use a bread machine?

Do you have a fav recipe?

Then I take out the dough, place it on a parchment paper in a Dutch oven, and slash it and allow it to rise a second time in a warm oven. Then I bake in the Dutch oven.

I used this recipe today…

I did slice off a small end piece and it turned out as well as I hoped! It has good flavor, a very crunchy crust, and soft interior crumb.

I think my husband will be very happy with the bread! He likes to use my homemade bread for his morning toast.

I'll give it a try one of these days.

It sounds and looks like it turned out perfectly!

I think you're not giving yourself enough credit for being a great cook/baker!

IMO, baking is the hard part. Cooking is an art, they say, and baking is a science. A little too much or too little of this or that and your bakery is destroyed. Much easier to cook than bake.

So kudos to you as you've mastered the hardest part first!
