First, mix all the ingredients including rustic bread spice from STAY SPICED! in a mixing bowl and then add the warm water. Mix everything well, preferably in a food processor and then let the dough rise for about an hour. So the yeast can do its job and then gives you a loose, airy bread.

After letting it rise, you can add the dough to the original pot. If the dough has become a little too sticky for you, use some flour for your hands. This makes it easier to edit.

You form the dough with your hands and a little flour into a nice smooth ball and then place it in the slightly greased original pot. Lid on it and again for good for about 40 minutes in a warm place and let rest.

After this time, the dough should have increased significantly and can now be smeared with a little water and scratched a little with a sharp knife. This later ensures a nice crispy crust with fine fractures.

Now you can bake the bread. Either in an oven with about 200 ° C (best convection) or on the embers with 14 coals on the lid and 7 coals under the pot. After about 50 to 60 minutes of baking time – if it smells of fresh bread and the delicious spices everywhere, then the time has come and the bread is ready and allowed to cool down from the pot on a grate. Important: Please do not let the bread cool in the original pot!
