[add more flour or water if necessary]
_ place in a floured bowl, cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes [in a warm spot]

[you can also divide the dough into smaller pieces at this point]
_ either heat a dutch oven to 230°C and bake the bread in it for 30 minutes with lid on and an additional 20 minutes without the lid
_ or preheat the oven to 190°C with a bowl of water in the bottom of your oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes
_ once bread is nice and golden remove from the oven
[if you knock on the bottom of the bread you should hear a hollow sound]
