Patricia, you sure can use a Dutch oven to bake this bread. If you choose to use this kind of pot to bake your bread, skip the pizza stone. Let the shaped loaf rise right in the Dutch oven. If your Dutch oven can go into a hot oven, you're welcome to pop it right in when the oven is hot and add about 10 minutes to the baking time. Or you can put it in a cold oven, turn the oven on when the dough has almost risen fully, and then bake for about 20 minutes. You'll still achieve a wonderfully crusty loaf with a tender interior crumb. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
