That's a shame AB. I use a cast iron pot all the time but my preference is to leave it in the oven while it's heating and then dust with flour just before placeing the dough in for cooking. I heard that because the pot is so hot when the dough goes in it stops it sticking, not sure if that true but I've never had a failure that way. This only works on bread that doesn't mind being moved after the final proving, I tried it with the sourdough and it flopped - but didnt' stick. With the sour dough I've proved in the dish and lined first with baking paper. I always cook for the first 15 - 20 minutes with the lid on.

That's girls, I think I went wrong in that it was a sour dough with a little yeast,(can't wait for slow rising) and I proved it in the new pot I did put in a little oil but it really wasn't seasoned, perhaps the next one will be better and I put it in cold so done everything wrong,  ;D
