Preparation

Step 1

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together flour yeast, and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups (350 grams) water and mix to thoroughly combine, using a wooden spoon or your hands. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature until it has more than doubled in size, about 18 hours.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide into four equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, shape each portion by starting with the right side of the dough and pulling it up and toward the center; do the same with the left, top, and bottom. Shape into a round and place seam-side down on work surface; mold dough into a neat circular mound. If dough is sticky, dust with more flour.

Dough can be individually wrapped with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature, covered with a damp cloth, 2 to 3 hours before using.
