Steps
- Mix the levain ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Cover with a clean cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for 12 hours.
- Prepare the Bread Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add the levain and salt to the dough. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Shape and Proof the Bread
- Gently deflate the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it proof for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the Bread
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Score the top of the proofed bread with a sharp knife or razor blade.
- Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Tips
- Use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients accurately for the best results.
- Make sure the water used for the levain and bread dough is lukewarm, as it helps activate the yeast.
