For a tangier flavor, use slightly cooler water and extend the initial rise time. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large oven-safe pot with a lid. Make sure it's heat-resistant up to 475°F. A longer baking time will result in a darker, more intensely flavored crust. Consider adding herbs, cheese, or olives to the dough for extra flavor.
