Preparation
Step 1, Bread Machine:
Add ingredients to bread machine in the order listed. Turn on machine to Dough setting.
Step 2, Fold and Shape:
Once done, take dough out of bread machine onto lightly floured surface. Fold the dough into itself gently a few times until the dough comes together. Lightly roll the dough into a thick log and push the ends of the log down to form a ball. Place in a heavily floured banneton or cheesecloth lined bowl.
Step 3, Proof and Preheat Oven:
Cover and let it proof for 35 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450F degrees with a Dutch oven (without the lid) placed in the lowest rack of the oven. (Image is prior to proofing).
Step 4, Score:
Turn out the dough from the banneton onto parchment paper. Score/cut the top of the dough.
Step 5, Bake Covered
Pick up the parchment paper and place the parchment paper and dough inside the preheated Dutch oven and cover. Bake cover for 25 minutes. (Image is after baking covered and removing the lid).
Step 6, Bake Uncovered
Remove the cover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until the top is brown. (Image is after baking uncovered)
Step 7, Rest and Cool Down
Take out the bread loaf out of the Dutch oven and let it completely cool on a wired rack for at least 25 minutes before slicing.
