For the dough, mix the white bread flour, water and the leaven in a bowl. If mixing by hand, mix until homogenous and smooth; if using a stand mixer, mix on speed one until smooth. Approximately seven to eight hours before mixing the dough, make the liquid leaven. It’s best to do it overnight or first thing in the morning so you can start mixing the dough in the afternoon. Mix together the bread flour, water and sourdough starter, cover with a tea towel and then leave for seven to eight hours.

One hour before you bake your bread, preheat your oven to 250C with a Dutch oven or casserole dish inside.

After mixing, the dough’s temperature should be around 23-25C.

During this time, you need to stretch and fold the dough approximately every 45 mins.
