  • In a mixer bowl mix all dry ingredients. In another bowl whisk 80g milk, eggs and wild yeast. Pour in the dry mix. Turn on the mixer on low speed for about 10min. After that add butter in gradually in small pieces at the time. 
    Cover and leave the dough at room temperature at about 26C to proof until double in volume. During this time make 4 Stretch and Fold to develop good gluten net.   
    After it doubled turn out the dough on a lightly floured worktop and gently shape it into a long cylinder. Place it in oiled and dusted with flour long cake form. 
    Now you can do the final proof at room temperature until double or leave in the fridge overnight to retard and bake it later.
