- Bulk Fermentation, Lamination, & Folds: Let the dough ferment at 78°F for about 5 hours, performing stretches and folds every 30 minutes.
- Shape: Turn out the dough, shape it into a batard or boule, and let it rest in a floured banneton for about 15-30 minutes.
- Cold Overnight Proof: Refrigerate the covered banneton overnight (or up to 2 days).
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 500°F with the Dutch oven inside. Bake covered for 20 minutes, then remove the lid, reduce the temperature to 450°F, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
