📝 Preparation Steps
1
Feed your starter and place in a warm place for ⏱️ 4 hours or until it has at least doubled in size and is beginning to fall. (See chef notes below)
2
Once the starter begins to fall being the autolyse process by mixing together your flour and filtered water. Cover with a damp towel and place it in the oven next to your starter and autolyse for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
3
Add your starter to the dough and mix in, which takes about ⏱️ 90 seconds. Cover with a damp towel and place it in the oven for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
4
Measure out and add the salt to the dough, wet your hands with bottled water, and mix it in until combined, which takes about ⏱️ 90 seconds. Cover with a damp towel, and place it in the oven for ⏱️ 60 minutes.
5
Perform a series of folds to the dough for about 90 to ⏱️ 120 seconds to strengthen the gluten in the dough so that it will eventually hold shape. Cover with a damp towel and place it in the oven for ⏱️ 60 minutes and repeat this process 3 more times.
6
After the last fold to the dough, cover with a damp towel and place it in the oven for only ⏱️ 30 minutes this time.
7
Remove the dough and place it directly on your countertop. Rub a little flour to the top using your hand and curl in the bottom of it using a bench knife to make it taught and tight on top.
8
Flip the dough over and stretch out as much as you can to a rectangle shape. Fold the right side to the left side over to cover about 2/3 of the dough. Now fold the left side as much as you can over the right side. Starting from the bottom roll up the dough to the front pulling gently making it as taught and as tight as possible.
9
Transfer the dough seam side up into a lightly floured banneton and pinch together the seams to help create more air pockets in the bread and to aid in the rising process.
10
Cover in plastic, a towel or in a large plastic zip bag and refrigerate for ⏱️ 12-16 hours or up to ⏱️ 24 hours.
11
The next morning, preheat your pan in the oven at 500° for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
12
Next, quickly sprinkle cornmeal into the bottom of the pan. In addition, sprinkle cornmeal to the top of the dough just to make sure it doesn’t stick.
13
Immediately flip the dough in the banneton over to the center of the hot pan and score the bread using a razor, sharp knife or bread knife.
14
Place the lid onto the pan and bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
15
Remove the lid and bake for 15 more minutes to help with brown the bread and cool on a rack to room temperature.
