How can I make bread that's soft on the inside but crusty on the outside?

[Ui Ui]

My target is to achieve a dark, crispy crust alongside a soft and tender interior of the loaf. Is there a single technique out there for achieving these results, or a method that works time and time again? Again, any help would be hugely appreciated!

Hey! To get bread that's soft inside and crusty outside, try baking it in a preheated Dutch oven or on a baking stone. Adding steam to the oven during the first few minutes of baking can also help create that crispy crust. Make sure to use a good recipe and let the bread cool properly before slicing. Happy baking!

Sure thing! To get that soft inside and crusty outside, I suggest baking your loaf in a super hot Dutch oven—traps the steam for a killer crust while keeping it tender inside! It works like a charm every time, trust me.

For a soft interior, make sure to knead the dough well; and to create a crust, preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 450°F (230°C). Another tip is to slash the top of the dough before baking to make a better crust.

Thanks for the tips! I totally agree—preheating the Dutch oven is key for that perfect crispy crust!

Thanks for the tips! Kneading well and preheating to 450°F are game-changers for a killer crust.
