Yes and you still want to put some corn meal on it. If parchment sticks out the top when lid is on it's still ok. You will figure it outshould the parchment go most of the way up the sides of the DO?

I can use my crockpot insert right? My DO handles can't go over 350......
Now one more llittle trick that helps. I have those thin silicone sheets that come from the kitchen stores in 2 in a roll. I use them for all my cooking and baking sheets, and they have lasted for 4 years so far. Well, after doing the baking paper route for letting the bread rise and then lifting the unbaked loaf into the Dutch oven, I thought I'd try using those silicone sheets. Voila! It was perfect. No mess, no burnt paper , easy to handle. What could be quicker?
so this bread is fool proof eh? Well I am going to test that theory right out.
My bread is in the first rise at the moment. After I fold it and flour it etc I am going to put it into a rectangular bread baking tin and bake this in the oven to attempt to get a square loaf.
So, I wont be pre-heating the loaf tin, I wont be cooking it in a dutch oven, crockpot or any other pot.
How will this go do you think?
babetoo,
The parchment paper works fine, provided you do the proofing in a shaped basket or bowl that somewhat replicates your baking vessel(s). Since I have oblong and round baking vessels, I use these baskets (lined with parchment paper) to proof my bread. I can then lift the proofed dough from the basket into the baking vessel.
If your chiles have that much moisture in them, just cut back on the water by 1-2 ounces and see how your dough comes out. If it's too dry, just add enough water to get the consistency that you want.
