    Looks pretty good. Maybe a bit dry looking in the crust? Did you try any of the add steam techniques?

    I usually bake my bread in a Dutch oven in an oven (or in coals of a fire if camping), something that also works decently is to throw some boiling water in a pan in the oven (ideally thick cast iron or pizza stone or something to hold heat more) as you throw it in.

    If your oven temp is unstable adding something like a pizza stone can add thermal mass and help stabilise it. Don’t pay out the arse, go to the hardware store and buy some unglazed ceramic or stoneware tile or similar and cut it to size. Just wash it very thoroughly before use and careful with the dust when cutting it!
