Makes 1 loaf.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 tsp dried yeast
- 300g water
- 200g plain flour
- 200g wholemeal flour (or, stick to plain flour)
- 1 tsp salt
Method:
- Stir together ingredients — it's supposed to be quite sticky. Cover with cling wrap and leave in a large bowl on the kitchen counter overnight. 18 to 20 hours is best.
- Sprinkle a little plain flour onto a clean kitchen counter. Pour the dough onto the flour, and fold it over itself 3-4 times. Don't knead it. Cover it with cling wrap and leave for another 1-2 hours at room temperature.
- Add a lidded, empty cast iron pot into an oven. Preheat the oven and the pot to 250ºC.
- Remove the pot from the oven once warm (be careful!). Place the dough into the hot pot, place the lid on top, and return to oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pot in the oven. Keep baking the bread in the pot for another 10-15 minutes or until it's golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the bread loaf from the pot and let cool.
