Ingredients
Scale
- 125 g active sourdough starter
- 325 g warm water
- 500 g bread flour
- 10 g salt
Instructions
- Feed your starter by mixing 50g of starter with 100g flour and 100g water, and let it double in size for 4-8 hours.
- In a large bowl, dissolve the active starter in warm water until it looks milky. Add the bread flour and salt; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 1 hour to hydrate the flour.
- Perform 3-4 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes, then let the dough bulk ferment at room temperature for 4-12 hours.
- Lightly flour your counter and gently turn out the dough. Shape it into a rectangle, fold it like an envelope, and roll it into a ball.
- Let the dough rest for 30-60 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for 12-48 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Prepare the dough on parchment paper, score it, and transfer it to the preheated pot. Bake covered for 30 minutes then uncovered for 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool the bread on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for best results.
Longer cold proofing times add more flavor to your bread.
Using a Dutch oven helps to create the perfect crust.
