Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter (65 grams)
- 1 2/3 cups filtered water (350 grams)
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (500 grams)
- 2 teaspoons fine salt (9 grams)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and warm water until dissolved. Mix in flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30-45 minutes.
- On a floured countertop, stretch and fold the dough for about 15 seconds. Return it to the bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature for 4-12 hours.
- Shape the dough again on a floured surface, then place it in a lightly floured banneton or bowl to rise for another 45-60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Carefully transfer the dough onto parchment paper, slash the top with a knife, and place it in the Dutch oven.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
