place a pan of water on the lower rack to create steam.
Can I make the dough in advance?
Yes! After mixing, refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before baking. Let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before shaping and baking.

Tap the bottom of the loaf—it should sound hollow. You can also check with a thermometer; the internal temperature should be around 200°F (93°C).
Can I double the recipe?
Definitely. Just make sure
