Mix starter and water then add all other ingredients together and hand mix for 10 minutes.
Cover and perform folds every 30-45 minutes for 2-3 sets.
Total bulk ferment time at 79-80F dough temp was 4 hours.
Divide into ~840g pieces and preshape.
Rest 10 minutes and final shape and place into Bannetons.
Final room temp proof for ~3 hours since house got cold.
I usually judge by how much the dough fills the Bannetons and a poke test.
Overnight cold proof in the fridge.
Preheat Cast Iron bread oven for 30 minutes at 450F.
Dump dough out into the cast iron and spritz with water before placing lid on and back into oven for 25 minutes.
Removed lid and bake another 20 minutes.
Cool 2 hours and slice in.

What a nice bubbly crust. Really ace Is that mainly from you spraying water? I’m trying to get crust like that on my pizzas and supposedly comes from a 3+ day cold ferment

What makes it a country loaf? The shape? The different types of flour? I haven’t found a convincing answer yet and I’m hoping someone here can tell me

Please put a NSFW warning on this. That sound of crunching as you squeezed it and then the cutting sound. Oh my fucking god.

My wife would probably love me so much more if if I used a tub to shape dough instead of the countertops.
