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
-
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.
-
Switch to a dough hook, add salt and remaining wheat flour 1 tbsp at a time, mixing until dough gathers around the hook.
-
Knead on low for 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
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.
-
Preheat oven (with cloche or Dutch oven inside) to 425 °F.
-
Turn dough onto parchment, score the top, then place into the hot vessel, cover, and bake 20 minutes.
-
Remove lid and bake an additional 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
