Dutch Oven Sourdough!!: CRUST and Cat training

Finally figured out a trick for getting dutch oven loaves to turn out gorgeous:  and it isn't putting an ice cube in the pot (it makes the bottom look funky).

Spritz the inside of the dutch oven with a spray bottle generously before you put the loaf in.  That's it.  Cook 25 minutes with the lid on, then 15-20 with the lid off.

I'm so happy to finally put to use the spray bottle that absolutely failed to teach my cats to behave.  It now makes my crusts quite lovely

 Thanks to my starter incident, I'll get more scoring practice, but in the meantime, I'll take it.
