This is a very tasty, herbed Bread that's a great addition to your Thanksgiving meal.
It's filled with the flavors of Thanksgiving Dressing.

This is the Bread Cloche that I use. 
This is the Cast Iron Dutch Oven that I use.

Place the Ball of Dough in a Lightly Greased (Vegetable Oil , Dutch Oven or Bread Cloche that's been sprinkled on the bottom with Cornmeal.
