I saw a topic about covering the loaf with a cast iron pot when it was in the oven. I cannot find this topic anymore. If someone remembers the topic, can you please cut and paste the link here? Thanks, Brian D Log in or register to post comments Hi, Brian. For discussions of covering loaves during baking, I suggest you search on "steaming" and "magic bowl" and "no knead bread".
