In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, and yeast.
Slowly add the water, and mix with a wooden spoon just to combine. Once the mixture is moistened, lightly flour a countertop or large cutting board and remove the dough from the bowl with lightly oiled or wet hands (to discourage sticking). Knead for 2-3 minutes to remove clumps. The dough won't become elastic, but should easily form a loose ball.
Place the dough in a bowl and cover with an air tight lid or plastic wrap and leave out for 24 hours.
Place dough container in refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 7 days. Remove portions as needed and goto next step.
Lightly flour a large cutting board or your kitchen countertop, and place the dough on it. Wet or lightly oil your hands again.
Make your dough balls.
Place the dough balls on a sheet tray and lightly flour and cover. Let proof for 4-6 hours to allow the glutens to relax. |
