Preparation method

Dough preparation and proofing

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients (flour, yeast, and lukewarm water according to the basic recipe) until you get a compact dough. There's no need to knead, just homogenize the mixture.

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough proof at room temperature for 2–2.5 hours, until it doubles in volume.

Baking the bread

Approximately 30 minutes before the end of proofing, preheat the oven to 230 °C. Place the pot in which you will bake the bread (a cast-iron pot or a heat-resistant pot with a lid, approximately 15 cm × 20 cm) into the oven to heat up thoroughly.

Chef's tip

You can let the dough proof overnight in the refrigerator (8–12 hours). After removing it from the refrigerator, immediately transfer it to the preheated pot and bake according to the instructions. This method will give the bread an even more intense flavor.
