  1. For two loaves.

    – 800g bread flour
    – 560g water
    – 160g starter
    – 16g salt

    Mix together until shaggy. Fermentolyse for 1 hour. Stretch and fold every 30min until gluten sufficiently strengthened (4 rounds for this dough). Bulk in a cambro, in a proofing box, for 8 hours at 25C until about 75% risen. Preshape and shape, then into the fridge overnight. Bake at 220C covered for 25min, 180C uncovered for 15min.

    Banneton is the only equipment I invested in as I found I just couldn’t find a bowl I already owned that was the ideal shape or size and it was ruining the final shape of my loaves

    And those hairnets do the job, don’t they?

    I’ve got real bannetons, and your boules are better than mine, lol.

    I’ve used my mixing bowl and towel for decades now. Never heard of a banneton until the pandemic started and suddenly there was all this merchandise being sold to make bread. I also learned people were buying proofing buckets, special scoring knives, fancy starter jars, cast iron bread baking things, etc… Apparently you now need to be rich with lots of storage space to do something as basic as making bread.
