SHAPING THE DOUGH
Then transfer the dough lightly floured workspace and shape them into round Boule. Fold the third of the dough closest to you inward, and then stretch the dough out to the sides. Fold the right, and then left sides in toward the center. Fold the top of the dough inward, and then wrap the bottom part of the dough over it all. If you want, you can make pre-shape and set aside for 15 minutes and then make a final shape.
Work this into a round shape, and place seam side up in a proofing basket lined well with flour.
SCORE AND BAKE
When you are ready to bake preheat oven to 475°F/ 246°C.
Remove the dough from the proofing basket and score and transfer to Dutch oven and close the lid and immediately place the top back on and return to the oven.
Turn the heat down to 475°F/246 °C and cook for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 450°F/ 232°C for 15 minutes with lid.
Continue to bake the bread for another 15 minutes, until the crust is deeply caramelized. Give 10-15 minutes extra if you want more crusty bread.
If you want crackling crust after switching off the oven keep oven door ajar and keep the bread inside.
Once bread comes out of oven cool completely in the wire rack and cut it into slice and enjoy with some butter
