    Show notes and Shout Outs:

    • I would argue that when it comes to bread, half (at most) of the final result comes from the recipe.  Far more important is handling and process. You Still Need a Recipe… Probably
      • 400g Flour

      • 400g Starter

      • 200g Water

      • 10g Salt

      • Knead until smooth, place in a banneton or bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Allow to rise for a lot longer than you probably think is necessary. I’ll often do overnight. Fresh bread in the morning!

      • Preheat the oven to 450. I recommend having either a baking stone or a dutch oven. GENTLY turn out the loaf. It’s basically a balloon at this point and we don’t want any of the delicious air to escape. 

      • Okay I lied, we want SOME of the air to escape. Slash the top all fancy. You can use a lame or sharp knife.

      • BAKE! The amount of time is dependant on the equipment currently in your oven.

      • Once done allow to rest for half an hour
