Ingredients
Scale
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup sourdough starter
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, sourdough starter, and salt until combined.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 12-16 hours at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with your Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
For a crispier crust, place a few ice cubes in the Dutch oven when you first put the bread in.
This bread can be flavored with herbs or cheese for a unique twist.
