Oh my gosh, my loaf came out wonderful, I can’t believe I made it. I used the King Arthur No Knead Crusty bread recipe linked above. Dough sat in fridge 2 days, I pulled off two pound chunk today, let it rise as described above (1.5 hrs, then turned on my oven with my 3.5 quart LeCreuset Dutch oven inside for the 30 minutes heating, so total of 2 hours of rising.) I too was clumsy with my dough, it had stuck to the parchment when I plopped it in the hot Dutch oven and I didn’t think it would come out. But with baking 25 mins lid on, almost 10 minutes with lid off, it slipped out perfectly and is now cooling on rack. Looks like a baker's loaf! (I weighed my King Arthur flour when making the dough). I am so excited!
