  1. Feed your sourdough starter 4–6 hours ahead; it should double and pass the float test.

  3. Add 100 g starter and 10 g salt. Pinch and fold the dough until incorporated.
  4. Bulk ferment at room temp for 4–6 hours. Stretch and fold every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.
  5. Shape the dough into a boule or batard. Place in a floured banneton. Refrigerate overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 475°F with Dutch oven inside. Score the dough, bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 25–30 minutes.
  7. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
