So I bought an "Emeril" (wow!) brand enamel-coated cast iron 6 qt. dutch oven and have made the bread twice now. First time had some problems with a too-wet dough that was a nightmare to fold and actually stuck to the towel when I was trying to flip the damn thing in the scorching hot pot. So I ripped what I could off the towel and closed the lid and let it go. Actually turned out pretty good but it was already pretty well browned when I took the lid off at 30 minutes. After about 5 minutes with the lid off it was getting some really dark spots so I pulled it out. Tasted great despite everything and had that chewy open crumb I thought I'd never be able to duplicate at home. I was stoked and made a second loaf, using slightly less water. No sticking problems that time but it was still well-browned after 30 minutes. I'm thinking I'll try not preheating the lid, so steam has a chance to condense for a little while before it gets hot. That might keep it moist in there a little longer. It's weird because the lid seems to fit tightly. Any suggestions?
