Notes
You can refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days if you're not ready to bake it right away. Let it rise then place it in the refrigerator. You just have to let it sit out and bring it to room temp for about 1 hour.
To freeze
The dough can be frozen let rise and then wrap in plastic wrap and placed in a ziplock freezer bag for up to 1 month. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator overnight and let come to room temp before baking.
You can freeze baked bread for up to 3 months. Wrap it in aluminum foil or parchment paper and put it in a large ziplock freezer bag.
No dutch oven?
Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and one to the lowest position. Fill a metal pan (don't use glass) with about 1 inch of water and place it on the lowest rack. Place bread dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it on the middle rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
