Ingredients
- 420 grams all-purpose flour
- 290 grams warm water ~85°f / 29°c
- 160 grams sourdough starter active and bubbly
- 8 grams salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, warm water, salt, and sourdough starter until everything is combined and no dry flour is left. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Keep the dough in a warm spot (75-80°F / 24-27°C) and perform 3 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes. By 10:00 PM, the dough should have expanded by 50%, be slightly jiggly, and show bubbles.
- Lightly flour a surface and shape the dough into a boule or batard before placing it in a proofing basket or a bowl lined with a floured towel.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight. It can remain in the fridge until the afternoon for baking flexibility the next day.
- Preheat the oven to 240°C (464°F) with a Dutch oven inside. Place dough on parchment paper, score the top, and place it in the hot Dutch oven.
- Bake covered at 240°C (464°F) for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake at 230°C (446°F) for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
