Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter

  • 1 ½ cups warm water

  • 1 cup fresh‑milled rye flour

  • 2 ½ cups fresh‑milled wheat flour

  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together starter, water, rye flour, and 1 cup of wheat flour until a thick batter forms. Cover and rest 30–60 minutes.

  2. Switch to a dough hook, add salt and remaining wheat flour 1 tbsp at a time, mixing until dough gathers around the hook.

  3. Knead on low for 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and rest 30 minutes.

  4. Perform a fold: lift one edge and fold into the center; rotate and repeat on all sides. Rest 30 minutes, then fold again. After another 60 minutes, fold once more.

  5. Let dough rest 60 minutes. Turn out and knead briefly, then return to bowl. If not airy and elastic, rest in a warm spot for 1–2 hours.

  6. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  7. Next morning, shape dough and place in a proofing basket or on parchment. Cover and proof in a warm area until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.

  8. Preheat oven (with cloche or Dutch oven inside) to 425 °F.

  9. Turn dough onto parchment, score the top, then place into the hot vessel, cover, and bake 20 minutes.

  10. Remove lid and bake an additional 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
