Orange Honey Cardamom Dutch Oven Bread
3 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups water
2 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 tablespoons honey
cornmeal or additional flour for dusting
Sweet Orange Cardamom Compound Butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) softened at room temperature
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons peeled, finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon maple syrup

1
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, yeast, honey, cardamom, and orange zest. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon or your hand until you have a very sticky, shaggy dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let the dough rest and rise for 12-18 hours, until the surface is dotted with bubbles and the dough doubles in size.
2
When the first rise is complete, generously dust a cutting board with flour. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the dough out of the bowl to the cutting board (it will be sticky). Using lightly floured hands or a rubber spatula, gently fold the edges in toward the center, shaping the dough into a ball.
3
Generously coat a cotton towel (non-linty) with cornmeal. Put the dough seam-side down on the towel and sprinkle with more cornmeal. Fold the towel over the dough. Allow the dough to rest for 2 hours, or until doubled in size. 30 minutes before the last rise is complete, place the dutch oven (cast iron pot) in the oven and pre-heat to 450? F.
4
Remove the pot from the oven. Slide your hand under the towel, and turn the dough over into the pot. (This will be messy, but no worries...it will round out as it bakes).
5
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
6
Uncover and continue baking for about 15 minutes, or until the loaf is browned.
7
Remove the bread to a wire rack and allow to cool for an hour before cutting.
8
In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients using a fork until smooth and well-combined. Serve immediately, or if desired, spoon the butter from the bowl onto plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to one week. Serve with Orange, Honey and Cardamom No-Knead Bread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
