Hi, Katrin! Your dough will definitely dry out if you don't cover it with something. Plastic wrap works great for this, but if you'd like a reusable option, shower caps fit beautifully over most loaves and can be used again and again! If you've got a dry top to your loaf, you can flip it over and bake it with the dry side down, or try giving it a nice spritz with water and giving your loaf a good scoring before baking.
