Fresh Crusty Bread for Two

Gourmet Chef Elaine found this recipe for a small round of bread that's perfect to serve 2-3 people.  Since I'm the baker I made this recipe which is as simple as it can be.  Mix flour, salt, and rapid-rise yeast together and stir with 100-to-110-degree hot water.  Let rise for two hours, fold the sides to the middle a few times, and rise for another hour.  The dough ball is placed on a long strip of parchment paper and placed in a preheated 450-degree Dutch Oven.  Bake with the lid on for 15 minutes and then another 20 minutes with the lid removed.  Use the parchment paper to lift the bread out and let cool down on a wire rack.  All the minute details can be found at the link below.
