3. Preheat the Oven

5. Baking

   • Carefully remove the preheated pot from the oven.

   • Cover the pot with the lid and place it back into the oven

6. Bake with the Lid On

7. Bake with the Lid Off

   • After 30 minutes, remove the lid from the pot.
   • Continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and has a crusty exterior.
