Directions: |
Directions:Combine flour and yeast in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in water until it’s well combined.
Wait 15 minutes.
Add the salt; stir.
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 3 hours-ish or put it in the Cambro (see notes below)
Get a small bowl and a piece of parchment paper ready. You want the bowl small so the bread holds its shape.
After 3 hours dough will become puffy and dotted with bubbles. Transfer it to a well-floured surface and sprinkle dough with a little flour. Using a scraper fold dough over 10-12 times & shape into a rough ball. Watch a video on how to shape a boule.
Gently transfer to the parchment paper and lower into the bowl. Spray olive oil spray lightly on top and sprinkle with some good flaky salt. Cover it with a towel and set it in the microwave with the door left open so the light keeps it toasty.
In the meantime place Dutch oven with lid in a cold oven and preheat to 450° F. My oven takes 35 minutes to reach 450°
When oven reaches 450° carefully lift the parchment paper and dough from the bowl and place gently into the hot pot. (parchment paper goes in the pot too) Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove lid and parchment paper. Return, uncovered, to oven. Spray a couple mists of water in there. Julien told me it does something to the crust, but don't remember what. Makes it shiny?
Bake 10 - 15 more minutes. Get it out of the oven and pot without burning yourself on the top of your hands almost erry time.
Let it cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.
