Ingredients
Scale
- 410 grams all-purpose flour
- 290 grams water
- 160 grams sourdough starter
- 8 grams salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix water, sourdough starter, and salt until well combined. Add flour and mix until incorporated. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform stretch and folds: Grab the edge of the dough, stretch it up, and fold it under. Rotate the bowl 90° and repeat until you’ve done four folds. Rest for 20 minutes; repeat this process four times total.
- Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 3-4 hours until nearly doubled.
- Shape the dough into a tight ball on a floured surface and place seam-side up in a floured basket. Cover and let proof for 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 460°F (238°C) with a Dutch oven inside during the last hour of proofing.
- Score the top of the dough with a knife or lame, transfer it into the hot Dutch oven with parchment paper, cover with a lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool on a rack for at least an hour before slicing.
