Once it’s golden brown, take it out and allow it to rest. The whole kitchen is going to smell wonderful. Once the bread has cooled, slice and serve with a pat of butter and some honey for the ultimate mouthwatering experience!
Scoring Skillet Bread
Baking a crusty bread like this requires scoring the top of the dough before placing it in the oven. This is to help the steam vent while it cooks. Also, the dough will naturally want to expand as it bakes, and creating a vent guides the dough, so that it doesn’t ooze out of the sides. You can makes any design or shape you like when scoring (cutting into the outer layer of dough). A simple X looks nice and is easy to do, but you can get creative if you like.
