Ingredients

300g bolted flour

200g bread flour

375g water (adjust as needed)

100g active sourdough starter

9g sea salt


Instructions

1. Mix & Autolyse: Combine flours and water in a large bowl. Rest for 1 hour.

2. Add Starter & Salt: Incorporate the sourdough starter and sea salt thoroughly.

3. Bulk Fermentation: Cover and let rest for 3–4 hours, folding the dough every 30 minutes.

4. Shape & Proof: Shape the dough into a round loaf and place in a floured banneton. Refrigerate overnight for a cold proof.

5. Bake: Preheat oven to 475°F with a Dutch oven inside. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Adjust water based on flour absorption.

Longer cold proofing enhances flavor.

Use stone-milled bolted flour for best results.
