How about using a stone with an upside down metal bowl ? You could also bake it on a stone with steam. If you do decide to use your pan be sure to lift the dough in with good sturdy parchment paper.

My bread is in the fridge stage now... The book says you need a 6 qt / 10 in diameter dutch oven but I only have 4 qt / 8 inch one or a 6x10 inch oval one. Do you think it's alright if I put it in the 4 quart or will that be too small?

I haven't taken a dive into Bien Cuit yet but I love the idea of this bread. Making a flour out of the pumpkin seeds in genius, especially for a seed-o-phobic like me. No one would ever know your bread runneth over, but you definitely need to get yourself a really big banneton, not that I know anyone who has one.
