100g sourdough starter 50% hydration (https://youtu.be/G2vtMjfVK34)
230 mL (230g) room temp water water


Method:
Mix together the salt and flour.
In your main mixing bowl, weigh out the sourdough starter and whisk in the water.
Dump the flour into the water / yeast mix and mix to a ragged dough with your hands or a spoon.
Cover and let rest for 30 - 60 minutes depending on your kitchen temp.
Using your hands or a spatula, fold the edge of the dough to the centre, turn the bowl and fold again.
Do this folding 6-8 times and the re-cover and set aside for another hour.
Flour you work surface and turn out the dough.
Sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and press out into a rectangle.
Fold the edges to the middle 6-8 times, then flip over and shape into a ball.
Prepare a banneton** with flour and place the dough in seam side down.
Cover with a couche**, and let rise for 2 hours.
Preheat your oven and a cast iron Dutch oven to 240ºC (475ºF).
Place a little flour in the bottom of the heated Dutch oven, and flip the dough in.
Score the top with a lame or a knife, put the lid on and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid, and bake another 5-15 minutes.
This last section of baking is to achieve a level of outside browning that YOU like.
Remove from Dutch oven and allow to cool on a rack for at least an hour before cutting.


*I used a commercial mix, but you can replicate with a mix of at least 45% white bread flour, and 45% whole wheat bread flour. The remaining 10% of the mix can be rye flour, bran, and spelt.

**If you don't have a banneton, use a bowl lined with a floured linen cloth (not cotton), or place free form on parchment paper and cover.

***If you don't have a couche, use a floured linen cloth (not cotton), or a plastic bag.
