Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lukewarm water and yeast. Add olive oil and whisk again.
  2. Add Farm Girl Baking Flour Blend, then salt. Mix until fully combined and a sticky dough forms.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Perform 1 set of stretch and folds (4 folds total). Cover and rest for another 20 minutes. Repeat once more, then cover and let rest for 1 hour.
  5. While the dough rests, grease the bottom of a large oven dish, line with parchment paper, and lightly sprinkle with flour.
  6. When ready, flour your work surface and gently pour out the dough. Sprinkle the top with flour and cut into 3 pieces. Lightly shape and separate. If sticky, sprinkle with more flour.
  7. Cover and rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 230°C (445°F) and place a small dish of water at the bottom of the oven to create steam.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes with the water in the oven. Remove the water dish, reduce heat to 220°C (425°F), and bake for another 20–22 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool before slicing.
