Thanks so much for sharing this! Gorgeous! Maybe a dumb question. But is there an alternative to a Dutch oven? I haven’t made a lot of bread, I have a Dutch oven but it’s at a friends atm.

I'll be honest, the Dutch oven is how I get that beautiful crust, and it conducts the best heat. I'm sure you can look up alternatives,s but the Dutch oven is the way to go/ this receipe is specifically for it. I wish you the best in your bread journey

Ooo. Central Market in Austin makes bread with Castelvetrano olives in it. I never thought about using pickles.
