Oh my gosh baking in a Dutch oven is HARD! It's HOT!
The first time I did it, I put it on parchment paper and lowered it down - that made the paper misshapen and it didn't look as nice. Today I put the paper in and then the dough... I burned myself (slightly) and I couldn't score it properly AND it basically fell a foot to the bottom of the pan. I wonder how it will turn out - not pretty for sure!
ETA: It turned out pretty good. This from Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book, Buttermilk bread (again). 100% whole wheat with freshly milled flour. I upped the temp for preheating and I think it gave me more oven spring too.
