Cooking Instructions
1.
For the poolish, in a bowl combine All-Purpose Flour (2 1/2 Tbsp) with Water (1 1/3 Tbsp) and Fresh Yeast (1/4 tsp). Stir and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest until it doubles in size and bubbles form on top.
2.
1 hour before poolish is ready, in a bowl mix Type 00 Flour (1 1/3 cups) and Spelt Flour (1/3 cup) with Water (1/2 cup).
3.
Next, add poolish to the flour mix and Water (1 1/3 Tbsp).
4.
Mix well until the dough comes together then add Salt (1 tsp) and remaining Water (2 tsp) and keep kneading until you get a smooth and elastic dough. Let it rest for 1 hour.
5.
Then do a few rounds of slap and fold. Depending on how well the gluten in the dough has developed. In my case, 2 rounds were enough. Let dough rest at room temperature covered with plastic wrap until it doubles in size.
6.
Next, fold the dough in 3 and let it rest for 1 more hour.
7.
Last proceed with giving the dough a round shape, sealing it well. Place it sealed up into a basket lined with a floured towel. Cover with plastic wrap and let double in size at room temperature. Then move it in your fridge overnight.
8.
Next morning, transfer the bread into a dutch oven pan, flour the top and place a cut on the top.
9.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
10.
Bake covered with a lid at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
11.
Remove the lid and keep baking for 20 more minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
12.
Then turn down the temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and cook for 10 minutes, with the last 5 minutes of baking with your oven’s door slightly open, this will help dry up your bread.
13.
Let the bread cool down completely on a wire rack and slice and enjoy!
