Artisan Bread

T baked a bread in the dutch oven last week. When it came out, it was not all covered in flour like I expected (see picture above), which is how I thought this artisan bread to look.

When I questioned him, he told me, "It used to be they would let bread rise in canvasses upside down, so they could flop it onto a pizza stone without the top sticking, but now it's just for looks."

You learn something new everything. I thought the flour look is nice though.
