Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Feed your bubbly sourdough starter 4-8 hours before making dough.
  2. In a large bowl, combine your active starter with warm water, stirring until dissolved.
  3. Gradually add bread flour and salt, mixing until no dry flour remains.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for one hour (autolyse).
  5. Perform stretch and folds every 30 minutes for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  6. Cover the bowl and let the dough ferment until it doubles in size, about 3-6 hours.
  7. Gently transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a tight ball.
  8. Cover with a cloth and refrigerate for 4-24 hours.
  9. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) about 30 minutes before baking.
  10. Place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, score the top, and cover with the lid.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes.
  12. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
