    #ingridients:

    * 100g levain (100% hydration)
    * 10g salt
    * 500g flour (325 manitoba flour, 175 whole grain spelt flour)
    * 335g water

    (overall hydration including levain – 70%)

    #process:

    * fed starter the night before, and did an overnight autolyse (flour & water) in the fridge (temp was below 4c/39f). i do that because i’m too lazy to deal with flour in the morning.
    * in the morning took the dough out of the fridge for it to relax, then dimpled in salt and levain, and kneaded the dough for about 5 minutes, then 30 min rest
    * 4 stretch & folds 30 minutes apart, had a translucent and strong windowpane
    * BF for about 8 hours since starter was introduced, dough had a dome shape, very bubbly & jiggly and not *very* sticky. ambient temp was about 23c/74f
    * preshape, 20 minutes rest, final shaped. another 20 minutes rest in banneton and then placed in the fridge overnight.

    ——

    * preheat oven with baking stone to 230c/446f
    * baked for 30 minutes with steam (in order to extend rising)
    * removed steam and baked for another 14 minutes, internal temp of the bread was 98c/208.4f
