Directions: |
Directions:Pour sourdough starter into a bowl with flour, salt and 1/2 c. water. Mix with your hands to produce a shaggy dough. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm spot in your kitchen for 12 hours.
Scoop the dough from the bottom of the bowl and fold it over on itself twice. Allow it to continue to rise for a further 2 to 4 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Flour your hand and your counter top. Plop the dough onto your floured working surface and gently shape it into a round shape or loaf shape. Keep in mind that the less you handle your dough, the better your loaf will be. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
Set a cast iron pan onto the bottom level of your oven and a baking stone onto the middle level of your oven. Preheat the oven to 450º
Boil 1 cup of water. Sprinkle the pre heated baking stone with cornmeal. Gently place your bread on the baking stone. Pour the boiling water in the cast iron pan on the bottom rack. Bake for 45 minutes, until done. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. |

Notes: This has become Jeff's recipe. He has made it using 25 pounds of flour! He bakes it in his pizza oven and it is "out of this world good." Play with the recipe, I think you have to make it several times before you know the ratios and sometimes you have to add more water or sometimes more flour.
