Mix together wet ingredients, adding just enough water to bring the dough
together without getting sticky.
Set the dough aside to rest and rise. Oil the pan in the meantime. Preheat an
oven to 200°C or get a fire going if you haven’t.
Get the bread into the pan and set it over the heat. If you’re using a dutch
oven, suspend it over the fire and get some coals on the lid. It’ll take 40-50
minutes over a fire, or 35-45 minutes in an oven.
Take the bread off the fire, let it cool for a few minutes before upending it
and dumping it out. Cast iron pots aren’t great at letting water escape so
it’ll generally be denser if you make it like that than if you made it in an
open-top breadpan.
