What is the best Dutch oven for baking bread?
Heavy cast-iron Dutch ovens are popular because they retain heat well and distribute it evenly during baking.
Can I make no-knead bread without a Dutch oven?
Yes. A covered oven-safe pot or a baking stone with added steam can also work.
Why did my bread turn out dense?
Common reasons include inactive yeast, insufficient rising time, or adding too much flour.
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, but replacing about 30–50% of the flour helps maintain a softer texture.
How do I know when bread is fully baked?
The internal temperature of the bread should reach approximately 200–210°F (93–99°C).
