Third time is the charm

My third bread: perfect!

2 cups all-purpose white, 1 cup whole wheat

1.5-1.75 tsp salt

18 hours first rising time, 2 hours second rising

slightly oiled the pot half way thru pre-heating to prevent sticking: still not certain whether this is necessary (perhaps heating the pot piping hot is enough), but just in case. A lot of smoke came out when the pot was taken out as expected particularly with olive oil; Will do the oil ~5 min before the baking to avoid the smoke.

30 minutes pre-heating time for the oven

30 minutes at 450F with lid, 15 minutes at 400F without lid
