10 mins. @ 435 covered

Brush with diluted egg wash immediately after baking.
N.B.  I use a 4 qt. oval cast iron dutch oven and I slash the loaves at the 10 minute mark when they are uncovered.

Are you fermenting at room temperature

or do you use a cold retard?

Karl

I am fermenting at room

I am fermenting at room temperature 68 -70 degrees for a minimum of 18 hours.  I have cold fermented when I couldn't bake right at the 24 hour point.  The flavor was slightly enhanced but otherwise there was very little difference.
