Ingredients

⅓ cup sourdough starter
1⅓ cups lukewarm water
½ tsp salt
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
4⅛ cups bread flour

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the water and sourdough starter together. Add in the salt, SIDS CRAZY SALT and whisk again.
Stir in the flour. (the dough will look very dry and that's totally fine) Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside at room temperature to rest for 30 minutes.
After the sourdough rises, fold the sides of the dough over into the centre to form a ball. Cover the bowl again and let the dough sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours. After the dough rises, it should appear wet and bubbly.
Flour your work surface generously. Place the dough on the counter and stretch it into a large, rectangular shape. Fold it over until it turns into a small ball of dough.
To finish shaping the dough, push in the bottom of the ball with your fingers while shaping it with your other hand into a perfectly round ball. Turn it several times in a circular motion to work out any bumps or blemishes.
Place the dough into a dough basket with the seam side up. Cover the basket with a towel and let the bread rest for 45 minutes at room temperature or for a few hours in the fridge.
Place the Dutch oven inside of the oven and preheat the oven to 230°C.
Place the dough ball on baking paper with the seam side down. Score the top as you please.
Place the bread inside the Dutch oven. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid closed. Remove the lid and bake the bread for an additional 20 minutes. Let the bread rest for a bit before slicing into it and enjoy!
