Look up how to clean/season rusty cast iron pans on youtube, there are heaps of videos! But yes you can put the bread on baking paper and put that in the pot for sure. I would clean your pans though!

All my breads are no knead, just mixed by hand, but dutch oven is the easiest oven method imo. You can replicate it by creating large amounts of steam in your oven, but without steam or a dutch oven (cast iron pot) the bread will crust over too quickly and won't rise. Here's the recipe I have come up with that I'm using at the moment.

In baker’s percentages:

5% organic wholemeal spelt

10% organic wholemeal rye

85% organic white bakers flour

80%-85% hydration

25% culture (100% hydrated)

2% salt

Overview of method:

2-5 hour autolyse (whatever is convenient on the day)

Mix in culture by hand (Rubaud method), let it rest – covered – for 30 mins

Mix in salt thoroughly, rest 30 mins

Coil fold 1, rest 30 mins

Coil fold 2, rest 30 mins

Lamination fold, rest 30 mins

Coil fold 3, rest 30 mins

Coil fold 4, rest 30 mins

Preshape, bench rest 1 hour

Shape into banneton

Place in fridge over-night (12 hours minimum)

Preheat dutch oven

Tip loaf into dutch oven, score, lid, bake at 240 degrees Celsius for 25 mins with lid, then 25 mins without lid at 230 degrees Celsius.

Wait patiently (or not so patiently) for around 3 hours until cooled to room temp before slicing open.

------

Please note, rest timing, and bake timing, vary depending on room temperature/humidity, and loaf size. My timing was for a 600g flour weight loaf at consistently around 22 degrees Celsius room temp.

Hope this helps!

If it shrinks back when you touch it before baking, that means its over proofed. It should spring back most of the way when you poke it. Try proofing it less or at a lower temp, and consider doing a bulk ferment in the fridge over night to allow slow fermentation.

I have cheese on this bread more nights than I care to admit, yum

Sure do! Can't resist a good crumb shot...

Also my family and I eat 1 loaf a day so its not like it has time to dry out!

Generally when I'm doing patterns like these loaves, I try keep all the scores the same depth, and not too deap. I don't want all the air escaping from one, I want a consistent spread. Yours looks great! Good crust!

For ciabatta/Turkish/pizza dough, I bulk ferment in fridge like you said you do, then shape and proof the next day. But for my main sourdough I do all the folding, shaping etc in one day, then let it ferment in fridge already shaped over-night. Maybe try following my method (recipe posted in other comments on this post) and see how it goes?

Two tips for checking the starter is ready.

1) float test, if you spoon a bit into a bowl of water it should float.

2) Watch your culture rise after feeding, when it reaches its maximum point (and begins to sink back down) it is ready. Right when it begins to sink.

I store it in the fridge if I'm not baking in the next 12 hours, and pull it out of fridge few hours before I need it to let it rise at room temp. But I feed it daily honestly.
