Step 1

Combine starter and warm water into a large bowl and mix until incorporated. Add flours, water and salt and mix together with a dough knife or wooden spoon until mostly combined. Cover with a towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

After 30 minutes, fold in the sides of the dough to the center of the bowl. Cover and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Repeat two more times.

Step 3

After the final resting phase, allow your dough to proof for 3-5 hours until doubled in size. The length of time is dependent on the warmth of the room.

Step 4

Once dough has doubled in size, gently turn it out to a lightly-floured surface. Pull and fold ends to release any air bubbles and form into one ball. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Use the resistance technique shown below to pull the dough with your hand against your counter to create a tight surface on the dough. Turn over into a floured bowl or banneton basket (wooden basked made specifically for proofing bread) and allow to rest in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Step 6

The next day, preheat oven to 500 degrees with the Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes. While oven is preheating, flip dough out onto a sheet of parchment paper and score the top with a very sharp knife or bread lame. Make sure your cut into the dough at least 1-inch depth.

Step 7

Remove Dutch oven, use parchment to place dough inside, and immediately cover and return to oven.

Step 8

Bake for 20 minutes with the lid on. Remove lid, brush with egg wash mixture and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until dark golden brown. Allow to rest on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting center.

Step 9

Using a bread knife, cut a circle about 4 inches in diameter with your knife slightly angled. Remove the top and use a spoon to remove as much or as little bread as desired. Fill with soup, a dip for guests, fondue, or whatever you'd like! Enjoy!
