Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Feed your active sourdough starter about 4–8 hours before you start baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter with warm water, stirring until fully dissolved.
  3. Add the bread flour and salt to the mixture, gently stirring until no dry flour remains.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for about an hour.
  5. Perform a series of stretches and folds on the dough every 30 minutes for 3–4 times.
  6. Allow the dough to ferment in a warm area until it becomes bubbly and nearly doubles in size, approximately 2 hours.
  7. Gently transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a smooth ball.
  8. Place the shaped dough into a floured banneton, cover it with a cloth, and let it proof for 30-60 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  10. Transfer the dough to the hot Dutch oven, score the dough, and cover it with the lid.
  11. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  12. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour.
