For his dutch oven rustic breads my husband heats up the pot way high before putting in the dough, and he says it's a challenge to drop in the dough without touching the pot. But then he's a risk taker.

 

Katie, I just reviewed Leahy's video this morning prior to sending it to a friend who wants to try this method.    He, Leahy, does in fact pick up the risen dough and drop it into the pot.   This is all wrong in MHO.   I let the ball of dough rise on a floured tea towel on a small cookie sheet, actually a giant spatula.    When it is ready, I just free the ends of the tea towel and tip the dough into the pot, staying well away from it, and never touch the dough.   Much easier done than said.   Stay safe.
