Directions

  1. 1

    Take sourdough starter out of fridge. Bring to room temperature and feed. Leave on the counter until it doubles in size about 5-6 hours.

  2. 2

    Begin to make the dough. Use a scale and measure 80g starter and 250g room temp filtered water. Then stir. Then add 350g unbleached all purpose bread flour.

  3. 3

    Mix until all the flour is well combined. Cover and rest for 30 minutes

  4. 4

    Add 10g salt and mix until well combined into dough.

  5. 5

    Cover and rest for 45 minutes.

    Do 3 round of stretch and folds, 30-45 minutes apart. Pull the dough up without ripping and fold and then turn the bowl and do 4 times.

  7. 7

    Bulk on the counter covered until 2x in size (I do overnight).

    Shape and put in the banatan basket and cold ferment in the fridge for 8-24 hours. I always do 8 hours.
