Ingredients

  • 250 grams of Bread flour
  • 250 grams of Whole wheat flour
  • 375 grams of Water
  • 100 grams of Sourdough starter
  • 10 grams of Salt

Steps

  1. Mix flour and water together and let sit for 45 minutes to an hour
  2. Add salt and sourdough starter and kneed well for about 10 minutes
  3. Perform 4 stretch and folds about 30 minutes apart
  4. Let sit until proofed
  5. Shape into a loaf, put into a pan, and let sit in the fridge overnight. Anywhere from 8-24 hours is good.
  6. Heat a dutch oven in the oven for at least 30 minutes (30 minutes includes whatever the preheat time is) at 450 F.
  7. Pull the loaf out of the fridge just before the 30 minutes is up. Place on a sheet of parchment paper and score it.
  8. Cook in the dutch oven with the lid on for 30 minutes at 450 F.
  9. Remove the lid and cook for another 15 minutes at 400 F.
  10. Let cool for at least 45 minutes before cutting into it. I like to let it cool for 30 on a wire rack, then stick it directly in the bread bin for the rest of the cooling time.
