Baking bread at home without an oven

Many kitchens do not have an oven. You can still bake a decent loaf in a heavy pot with a lid.

Preheat the empty pot on low for ten minutes with a steel stand or a ring of foil inside, so the bread does not touch the base.

Bake covered on the lowest flame for about 40 minutes, then flip the loaf for five more minutes to brown the top.
