Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a round loaf. Prepare a baking stone or baking sheet by lightly oiling it and sprinkling it with cornmeal. Place the loaf on the prepared surface, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has nearly doubled in size. (Approximate time: 40 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. (Total time: ~ 30 minutes)

For an enhanced crust, consider placing a tray of ice cubes in the bottom of the oven during the first 10 minutes of baking to create steam.
The quality of your sourdough starter greatly impacts the final flavor. Use a well-fed, active starter for the best results.
If you don't have a cloche, a Dutch oven is an excellent substitute for creating a similar baking environment.
Adjust the amount of flour slightly depending on the humidity in your kitchen to achieve the desired dough consistency.
