Do you keep it at 450f the whole time? My loaves are generally darker than that in half the baking time. I'm using steam for like 15 minutes

I use 450F the whole time. Covered for 20 minutes, uncovered 25-30 minutes.
High walls of the dutch oven give poorer browning on sides than if I used a bread pan or open bake.
