- 20 g salt fine
Instructions
- Start in the morning or evening. In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix all the ingredients into a uniform dough. It will be somewhat wet, sticky, and shaggy. Cover with plastic and let stand throughout the day or overnight.
- After 10 hours (can be more but not less), scrape the dough off the sides of the bowl and with floured hands form into a dough by stretching the top side and roughly folding the dough underneath. Place back into bowl and set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 450˚ F. Place the dutch oven in the cold oven and set a timer or 30 minutes.
- Flour the surface and stretch the dough to form air pockets.
- Wet your hands, and place the dough ball onto a baking sheet. Using a sharp knife or lame, score the top (optional).
- Holding onto the baking sheet, place the dough into the dutch oven and put the lid back on. Bake for 25 minutes
- After 25 minutes of baking, remove the lid and bake for another 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown
- Carefully remove the bread from the dutch oven and place to cool on a wire rack Wait at least 1 hour before cutting for best results
