Ingredients
- 500g Unbleached bread flour
- 7g Active dry yeast
- 350ml Cold water
- 10g Sea salt
- 20g Rice flour
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 350ml cold water and 7g active dry yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add 500g bread flour and 10g sea salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Step 2: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding extra flour only if sticky. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Step 3: After 1 hour, perform a series of 3 folds: gently stretch the dough into a rectangle, fold into thirds, rotate 90 degrees, and repeat twice every 30 minutes over 2 hours.
- Step 4: Shape the dough into a boule, place seam-side down in a floured banneton, and cover with a towel. Proof at room temperature for 3 hours until nearly doubled in size.
- Step 5: Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F) with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the dough into the hot pot, score the top with a razor, and bake covered for 20 minutes.
- Step 6: Uncover, bake for 20 more minutes until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 93°C (200°F). Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
