This bread is wonderful. It only takes a few hours to prepare (most of it is just a resting period) and it tastes like artisan bread that has taken days to prepare. I used this recipe for Fast No-Knead Bread and adapted it for my dutch oven.
After letting the dough rest for 3.5 hours and shaping it into a loaf I placed it on parchment paper that I trimmed down to fit in my dutch oven. Let that rest for another 30 minutes while you preheat your 12 inch deep dutch oven to 450 degrees using 22 briquettes on top and 11 on the bottom. After 30 minutes carefully place the dough with the parchment paper into the dutch oven and cook for 50 minutes or until done. Like I have said in other posts I do not change out the briquettes on the bottom of the dutch oven but I do replace the top as needed. And every 15 minutes rotate the dutch oven a quarter turn so everything cooks evenly. Let the bread rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
Thanks for reading, and get out there and get cooking!
