Ingredients: Flour, water
For a 750 to 800 gram sourdough loaf, you'll need the following ingredients.
425 grams all purpose flour
Mix all ingredients and kneed the dough into a ball. Let rest for an hour then apply two sets of 4 stretched 30 minutes apart. Stretching the dough is done by pulling the dough and elongating it until at least double the length. Then fold it, and stretch in another direction.
After the second set, let the dough rest in a bowl, covered by a cloth for up to 20-24 hours.
Once it's doubled in size, move dough to cover baking pan, or Dutch oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 covered, and another 15-20 minutes uncovered.
