Ingredients
• 475 grams all-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups
• 100 grams starter active and bubbly (1/2 cup)
• 325 grams water 1 1/3 cups
• 10 grams salt 2 teaspoons
Instructions
1. Feed a sourdough starter 4-12 hours before starting the dough, ensuring it is active and bubbly.
2. Combine warm water, active starter, salt, and flour with a wooden spoon or even just your hands in a large mixing bowl.
3. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and allow to rest for 30 minutes for the water to hydrate the flour.
Stretch And Fold
1. Grab the edge of the dough and pull up stretching it out as you pull upwards. This may be difficult and you may need to kind of bounce the dough to get it to stretch. Place dough that is in your hands back into the center. Turn the bowl about a quarter turn and complete another stretch and fold. Repeat two more times. This is considered one round.
2. Thirty minutes later, complete another round of stretch and folds. Cover and allow the dough to rest another 30 minutes.
3. Complete one last stretch and fold round.
4. Cover with a lid, damp towel, or plastic wrap. Let the dough bulk ferment in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This could be anywhere from 6-12 hours (or longer) depending on the
