Preparation
Step 1
Combine wet ingredients.
Step 2
In a large bowl add starter, water, egg, oil, maple syrup, and vinegar. Whisk well.
Step 3
Combine dry ingredients.
Step 4
Add remaining dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Step 5
Knead the dough, adding flour as needed, to form a smooth but still slightly tacky round of dough.
Step 6
Let rise.
Step 7
Place in a greased bowl or in a greased parchment paper-lined pan. Cover and let rise overnight or at least 6 hours.
Step 8
Place in refrigerator.
Step 9
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Step 10
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a cast iron skillet or dutch oven into the oven while it preheats, for at least 30 minutes.
Step 11
Knead and score.
Step 12
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and knead slightly to re-form a nice round of dough. Optionally, score the dough with any design of your choosing. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature while the oven and pan preheat.
Step 13
Place into pan.
Step 14
After 30 minutes of resting time, place the dough into a greased parchment paper-lined dutch oven or cast iron skillet. If using a dutch oven, place a few ice cubes on the outside of the parchment, but on the inside of the pan before placing the lid and on and placing into the oven. If using a cast iron or other oven-safe skillet, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven right after place the bread on the middle rack. Keep the oven door closed the entire time to ensure proper steaming.
Step 15
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the bread has formed a nice golden crust, is firm and sounds hollow when you tap on the bottom.
Step 16
Let cool.
Step 17
Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best results. Slicing too soon can result in a gummy or dense bread.
Step 18
