In reply to Rosie.

The reasons could be
1. Your pot was too close to the heat. Try raising the oven rack, so the bottom is not as close to the heat.
2. Your oven may be hotter than you think. Use an oven thermometer to ensure your range is at the proper temperature.
3. or Not enough moisture in the dough typically causes this issue.

I have been baking Dutch oven bread for a couple of years. First rise is 1 hour and second rise is 30 minutes. It is perfect every time. I make cinnamon and raisin which is delicious, also garlic and Parmesan , jalapeño and cheddar and sometimes just plain.
I put a pan of boiling water in bottom of cold oven to rise, as my kitchen at this time of year is very cold.

I follow these directions and when I add fresh garlic and cheese it doesn’t tend to rise in the oven as well as I’d like it what am I doing wrong and # 2 why is the bottom of the crust so tough it’s very hard. Thank you .

In reply to Grace. Hi, Thats completely all right if you cannot make tight ball. Just shape it into a ball and bake. Dont forget to dust your work surface/parchment paper with flour before shaping the dough. That will also help in shaping the dough. Hope this helps.

The dough is supposed to be sticky & shaggy according to your instruction. So, how can I shape the dough into a “tight round loaf”? Mine just spreads and I cannot make it tight enough to be a round ball shape!
