January is bread-baking season!
Join the January Bakeable Challenge: Dutch Oven Bread
Our January Challenge
The beginning of a new year means hunkering down inside and learning a new skill. What better skill to develop than baking bread!
This Dutch oven bread recipe is beginner-friendly, but it’s just as fun to make for more advanced bread-bakers, too. Instead of kneading the dough, you just let it rise for eight hours. You can make the dough before going to bed and work on it in the morning, or put it together in the morning so you’ll have freshly baked bread at dinnertime.

How to Participate
