This is my summary and notes from The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day master Recipe

Ingredients

Dough preparation

  1. Mix: Dump in water, then yeast, salt, and flour into a 6 quart bucket. Stir into a wet rough dough.
  2. Rise: Allow dough to sit at room temp for 2 hours.

Do not punch down the dough.

  • The dough can be used right away, but is much easier to handle when chilled.
  • The dough is intended for refrigeration and use over the next two weeks, ready at anytime.

Using the dough

  1. Divide & shape: Dust the surface of the dough with enough flour so it doesn't stick to your hand. Use scissors to cut off a chunk of the dough and form it into a ball.2
  2. Rest: Dough should rest for at least 40 minutes. (Up to 60 or even 90 minutes)
  3. Bake: 450*F for 30-35 minutes.
