Ingredients
Scale
- 410 grams all-purpose flour
- 290 grams water
- 160 grams sourdough starter
- 8 grams salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix water, sourdough starter, and salt until combined. Gradually add flour and mix until fully incorporated. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform stretch and folds: Grab the dough edges, stretch upward, and fold under. Rotate the bowl 90° and repeat until you've done this four times. Let rest for 20 minutes between each set, completing four sets total over one hour.
- Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 3–4 hours or until nearly doubled.
- Shape the dough into a tight ball on a floured surface and place it seam-side up in a floured banneton basket. Let it rise for another 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 460°F (238°C) with a Dutch oven inside during the final proofing hour.
- Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, score with a knife, then place it in the preheated Dutch oven. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 10 minutes at 440°F (227°C) until golden brown.
- Cool on a rack for at least an hour before slicing.
