if you don't have a dutch oven you can get a similar effect by placing a second baking tray in your oven on the rack below the bread's rack. preheat the oven and then after you add your bread, carefully pour a cup or two of water into that bottom tray. might need to tweak the water amount depending on what you're baking, and be sure to use a metal tray and not a glass or ceramic dish.
