You can steam up the Dutch oven by chucking in a few ice cubes as the loaf goes into the pot.
I generally put the load into the pot on a bit of baking paper (to save my knuckles touching the hot pot) and I put ice cubes into the pot, down the side of the paper so that water doesn’t pool under the dough.
Probably not need to a baker, but if you add a bit of fat (butter or oil) and some honey you can get a thick, dark crust and tasty crust.
