1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1000g of bread flour, 650g of water, and 20g of salt. Mix the ingredients together until they form a shaggy dough.

Add 200g of sourdough starter to the dough and mix until it is fully incorporated.
3
Knead the dough for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 4-5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven or a stoneware pot with a lid inside.
6
Gently place the dough into the preheated pot and cover it with the lid.

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
