Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a cast iron bread loaf pan inside to heat.

Dust a clean surface with flour and turn out the dough onto it.

Shape the dough gently into a round loaf without kneading.

Sprinkle cornmeal on a parchment paper and place the dough on it.

Cover with a towel and let rise for 30-45 minutes while the oven heats.

Carefully remove the hot cast iron bread loaf pan and place the dough with parchment inside.

Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
