I have been using several recipes for baking bread in the dutch oven and we are enjoying wonderful bread. When heating the dutch oven, should the lid be on the pot or off to the side? I have been putting the lid to the side as well as putting the dough in the pot still on the parchment paper. The crumb on my bread is not as fine as your pictures and it seems heavy and almost wet after the baking. I'm wondering if my heating method is causing this. Any ideas?
