My oven has a steam function, I can heat and steam the oven on high before putting the loaf in.

Do I still need a dutch oven?

Probably not. The dutch oven is used to trap steam to allow the loaf to rise in the first part of the bake. You could probably just use a baking sheet in combination with the steam function. Let us know how the steam works out!
