- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours.
- Every hour during the bulk fermentation, stretch and fold the dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the shaped dough into a proofing basket and cover it.
- Let it rise for another 2-3 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven with a baking stone or sheet inside.
- Score the loaf just before baking to control how it expands in the oven.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes.
