Ingredients

  • 625 g wheat flour
  • 500 ml water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp dry yeast

Method

  • Mix yeast and salt into 5dl of warm water.
  • This is really how little yeast you need!
  • Mix the flour into the water.
  • Keep mixing until there are no dry flour bits left.
  • Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 12 hours.
  • Yes, 12 hours!
  • Pour out the dough and gently fold it onto itself in thirds 3-4 times.
  • Prepare a bowl with some olive oil and flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Put the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for another 2 hours.
  • Put an oven-resistant pot with its lid on into your oven and preheat it to 250C.
  • You want to make sure the pot is VERY HOT or the bread will stick when you bake it.
  • Once the oven is ready, take out the pot, pour the dough in (you should hear a sizzling sound if it's hot enough), put the lid back on and bake for 30 mins at 250C
  • Take the lid off, reduce temperature to 230C, bake for another 15 minutes and you're done!
