Ingredients
- 500g bread flour
- 375g lukewarm water (75%)
- 100g starter (20%)
- 10g salt
Process
This assumes I’m baking on a weekday and need to work around my work schedule, but the principle still holds
Morning 1 (before work)
- Remove starter from fridge and feed
Afternoon/Evening 1 (after work)
- Make shaggy dough by loosely mixing flour, water, and starter together in large glass bowl
- Fermentolyse for 30 minutes — cover and let dough rest on counter for ~30 mins
- Gently mix in salt
- Transfer to lightly oiled (or floured) 2 quart plastic tub
- For next ~5 hours, bulk ferment in tub. Stretch and fold every hour or so to build dough strength. Keep lid on tub when not actively working it
- Preshape dough and transfer to a lightly floured banneton.
- Cold proof in fridge for up to 3 days
Afternoon/Evening 2 (after work)
- Preheat oven with dutch oven inside at 450 for at least 30 mins
- Just before baking, remove banneton from fridge.
- Gently shape into a boule
- Spray shaped dough with lukewarm water
- Score dough
- Put dough on baking sling, and place baking sling in the hot dutch oven
- Bake covered for 30 mins
- Remove lid from dutch oven and bake for another 10-20 mins
- Let cool on wire rack for at least 1 hour
