Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour and water together by hand or stand mixer. The dough will be sticky. Let set for 30 minutes.
  • Next add starter and salt to the mixture and combine well. Rest dough for 30 minutes.
  • Stretch and Folds: begin stretching and folding the dough. Doing about 4 of them to stretch and fold around the dough. Set a timer for 30 minutes and do the stretch and folds again. Covering the dough in between. Do this for 2 hours. (5 rounds total) if possible. By the end, the dough shouldn't be as sticky, and be easier to stretch up and fold.
  • let the dough set, covered. For anywhere from 4-10 hours. The dough should be close to double in size when it is ready. How long it takes to double depends on the temperature of your home, etc.
  • Shape: once it has nearly doubled in size, shape the dough. Let rest another 20-30 minutes.
  • Proof: set the dough into a bannetan (or bowl with tea towel, etc lining the bowl). I sprinkle a bit of flour into the liner before setting the dough inside. Set the dough inside seam side facing upwards. Cover the dough.
  • let set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or in the fridger for up to 12 hours or even longer.
  • When ready to bake: preheat oven to 450 F with dutch oven inside to preheat as well. Then, line with parchment, sprinkle with flour and gently add the dough into the parchment lined Dutch oven. Add lid and bake for 20 minutes, then remove lid and bake an additional 15-25 minutes or until crust is to your desired color.
