Today's recipe
 
Bread

Ingredients:
400 gr bread flour
300 gr lukewarm water
8gr salt
5 gr active dry yeast

Directions:
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients first with a spatula and then add water until you have an even consistency.
Place a dishtowel on top of the bowl, let the dough rise for about 10/12 hours.

Spread some flour on the countertop and make a bowl. Start kneading the dough about 6 times, until it becomes harder to do.
Let it stand again for about one hour.

Preheat the oven (with a Dutch oven in it) up to 475 F.
When the oven is ready, score the bread with a very sharp knife.
Place the loaf into the Dutch oven.
Let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes, then remove the lead (to finish the crust) for another 5 to 8 minutes.
Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it stand for, at least a half hour in order for the crust to finish forming.
