Recipe:
Before Baking:
Take starter out of fridge and feed it 100g flour & 100g water and have it sit on the counter for 6hrs. Then begin baking process.
Ingredients:
120g starter
303g 90 degree or warm water
2tsp sea salt
500g bread flour
Instructions:
Add your starter and water into bowl and mix until everything has mostly dissolved.
Add your bread flour and sea salt.
Then with your hands or a spatula mix everything in mixing bowl. Make sure to not over mix and make sure to leave your flour looking like “shaggy dough”.
Grab shower cap and let shaggy dough sit out in room temp for 1 hour.
Wet your hands in clean water and fold dough 4 times. This is how to stretch and fold. Gently stretch dough and fold it over itself once rotate the bowl 90 degrees rotate stretch and fold again and again for a total of 4 times.
Once again cover your dough with a shower cap and let it sit on the counter for 20 min then reap stretch and fold process again. You will do this step a total of 4 times with 20 min in between each stretch and fold.
Once all rounds of stretch and fold has been done, grab your dough and shape into a nice ball and recover with shower cap and let it sit out on your counter for 6 -12 hours.
Sprinkle some all purpose flour on your counter top. Now wet your hands and lift dough letting it drape over hands and place on the floured counter.
Grab some more all purpose flour and sprinkle it on top of the dough to make less sticky. Now gather the corners up and make into a ball. Once you've gathered all corners pinch it together. Add more all purpose flour. Flip over (pinched ends on counter).
Shape and tighten your ball with scoots.
Lightly dust the top with all purpose flour.
Put dough in bread proofing basket beautiful/smooth side down into basket.
Cover with shower cap and have it sit in the fridge for 12 - 26 hours.
Once ready to bake bring your dough out of the fridge and let it sit in room temp for 1 hour.
Now you are ready to bake. Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees with Dutch oven (with lid on) inside it.
As soon as oven has reached desired temp now it's time to score your bread. Grab a piece of parchment paper. Sheet should be slightly bigger than your proofing basket. Place parchment paper on top of the dough (no more shower cap on at this point) flip over and remove proofing basket. Dust dough with all purpose flour and begin scoring.
Once oven has reached its desired temp it’s time to put dough (with parchment paper) in Dutch oven and cover for 20 min.
At 20 min uncover dutch over and continue to bake dough at 450 degrees for an additional 15 - 20 min or until golden brown.
Once bread has finished baking pull out of oven and dutch oven and let bread cool on a cookie rack for 1 - 2 hour or until completely cool.
Enjoy 🤌🏼
