Okay, I don't like to eat just this artisan bread but enjoy other types including finer crumb bread. So I took my rye bread recipe, formed it into a round loaf, let it rise and then baking it in the same manner as the nyt bread--ie in the Dutch oven. Only this time, I also didn't want to heat up the whole big oven, so took my clay garlic baker which has a nice round dome, and looked like it would hold about 1# loaf, and just baked it in my countertop convection oven at 500 degrees. Turned out with a great crust and a wonderful moist crumb inside. I did use my instant read thermometer to check on the internal temp of 200. So this is really easy now and as there's just 2 of us, we have trouble often finishing bigger loaves and we like variety.
