INGREDIENTS
500g bread flour
350g water (room temperature)
100g sourdough starter
10g salt
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, bread flour, and water. Start mix until it forms a shaggy dough. Add salt and mix well for 5-10 minutes.
Cover dough with a wet bowl and let rest for 30 minutes.
Give your dough a stretch and fold. To do this, gently pull one side of the dough out and fold over the top. Do this all around the dough. Cover with wet towel again and repeat 2-3 more times 30 minutes apart.
Let the dough rest in a warm place for 4-12 hours.
Once the dough has risen transfer to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf by folding the sides towards the center and then rolling it tightly.
The next morning preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife or razor blade to allow for expansion. Spray with water and place another bread pan on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes covered. Remove bread pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy!!
