100g starter + 100g strong flour + 100g water
Let sit 2-9 hours
Add 400g strong flour + 250g (ish) water + 12g (ish) salt
Mix well and adjust water as needed for a relatively dry dough
Let sit 2-20 hours
Fold/roll into a loaf
Proof in fridge 8-48 hours.
Bake 28 minutes at 260c covered in dutch oven
Bake 3 minutes 260c uncovered
It’s just the simplest thing. Straight out of the fridge, while it’s still cold and semi-firm, I hold the loaf in one hand, and lightly drag my bread knife over the top a dozen times overlapping in a zig zag way, then plop the loaf into the dutch oven.
A couple friends give me shit for manhandling the loaf that way, but it gets results.
