Ingredients:
- 500g bread flour
- 375ml warm water (105°F to 110°F)
- 7g instant yeast
- 10g fine sea salt
- 5g honey
Instructions:
- Whisk the 500g bread flour, 10g fine sea salt, and 7g instant yeast in a large bowl.
- Add the 375ml warm water and 5g honey to the dry mix.
- Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms until no dry flour remains.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes. Note: The dough should look doubled and bubbly.
- Preheat your oven and 6 quart Dutch oven to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes before the rise ends.
- Turn the dough onto parchment paper and score the top with a sharp blade.
- Transfer the parchment and dough into the hot Dutch oven carefully.
- Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes to trap the essential steam.
- Remove the lid and bake for 10 minutes more until the crust is deep mahogany.
- Tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow and feel light.
