The bread rhythm

Four steps from starter to crust

01

Feed the starter

Keep your starter active with a regular feeding schedule so it rises predictably before baking day.

02

Bulk ferment

Let the dough rest and develop during bulk fermentation, watching for airy texture rather than the clock alone.

03

Shape the loaf

Gently fold and shape the dough into a tight round or batard, letting it rest briefly before the final proof.

04

Bake in a Dutch oven

Score the loaf and bake covered in a preheated Dutch oven, then uncover to finish with a golden, crisp crust.
