  2. Place a piece of parchment paper on your counter and dust it with gluten-free flour. Scrape your dough out of the bowl and form it into a ball.
  3. Slice a couple of small cuts on the top of your dough.
  4. Place the dough (with parchment paper) into your hot Dutch oven.
  5. Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes for that perfect crust.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
