Ingredients

Activating starter

  • 10 g Sourdough starter
  • 10 g Bread flour Type 812
  • 10 g Water

Levain

  • 10 g Activated starter from above
  • 50 g Bread flour Type 812
  • 40 g Water

Main dough

  • 400 g Bread flour Type 812
  • 40 g Rye flour Type 1150
  • 280 g Water
  • 10 g Sea salt
  • 40 g Linseed

Instructions

  • - In a bowl mix all ingredients to activate the starter, cover with cling film and leave at room temperature overnight.
    - Next day in the morning in another bowl mix 10g of already activated starter, 50g flour and 40g warm water(body temperature). Cover with cling film and leave at room temperature. Wait until double in volume. This will take about 4 to 6 hours depends on the room temperature. I would suggest using your oven with the light on only. This is то create a room with 26-28C and speed up doubling. 
    - Right after you mix the Levain, mix bread flour, rye flour and 260g water to a rough dough. Cover with cling film and leave it to autolyze (rest) until the Levain is ready. 
    -After the Levain has double in volume add it to the main dough and knead to make an elastic and smooth dough. This will take about 10 min by hand and 5-6 min with mixer on 2nd speed. Leave it covered to rest 30min.   
    -Now is the time to add the salt and 20g water, linseeds and knead gently until salt has been dissolved. 
    - Cover with cling film and leave to proof at room temperature until double in volume. 
    -During this time make 4 S&F (stretch and fold) to develop a good gluten net. Don't skip this. 
    -After it doubles place it on a lightly floured bench and leave to relax for 30 min covered with a tea towel to prevent forming a skin. 
    -Shape it and place it in a proofing basket and leave in the fridge to make the final proof. This will take about 12-18 hours.
    -Bake straight from the fridge in preheated oven in cast iron pot with lid for 25 min at 250C first and then 20min at 200C or until ready.
