This is the Rye bread I made yesterday when I finally have learned how to make the artisan bread I see in bakeries. I put this bread on wax paper on a pie plate for its second rise. About 20 minutes before I baked it I preheated the oven at 425 degrees with the dutch oven in it getting hot. When the aluminum dutch oven (I think next time I'll try my cast iron one just for fun) was at the temp of 425 I carefully lifted the raised bread, wax paper and all into the dutch oven, put the lid on and baked for 20 minutes. I baked it another 15 with the lid off to get it nice and brown. Oh, 2 other things, I oiled the wax paper and I scored the top of the bread with a shart knife. It was wonderful but more importantly; it was beautiful. By the way, the stone it is on was about $4 and was in the floor tile section of Menards. Beat that price for a pizza stone! You can also buy other sizes and build your stone right in the oven by putting together your various sizes to get the shape and size you want. Pretty darn cool.
