Method : 
  • Combine the flour and the Salt into a large mixing bowl with a fork.
  • You need to measure out 300 ml of your Sourdough Starter. The starter needs to be very active, so you should probably feed it about 4 hours before hand.If you want the method for making a starter you can find it here.
  • Warm up 150 ml of water in a microwave.
  • Add the Starter and the olive oil into the flour and combine with a fork, then add the warm water.
  • Get your hands in and start to combine the mixture into a dough.
  • Tip it out onto a floured surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes so that it becomes elastic and stretchy. It should be smooth and spongy to the touch.
  • Lightly oil the mixing bowl and place the dough ball inside to prove for about 3hrs. cover and leave in a warm place.
  • When the dough has started to double up and has a smooth surface it is time to put it into the Dutch Oven.
  • You will need to line the Dutch Oven with silicon paper or something similar so that the dough does not stick to the bottom.
  • Put the dough on the silicon paper and place it inside the Dutch Oven to continue proving. Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place for up to 12 hrs (you can leave it overnight)
  • When the dough has doubled in size and has a smooth surface you can score it with a sharp knife, put the lid on the Dutch Oven then bake in a preheated oven at 190 c for 30 minutes.
  • After this time remove the Dutch Oven and take off the lid. The loaf should now be fully risen and ready for dusting.
  • Dust the loaf with some extra flour then leaving the lid off, put it back in the oven for a further 15 minutes to brown.
  • When you remove the loaf from the oven turn it over and tap the bottom, it should sound hollow if it is fully cooked.
  • Let it cool on a wire rack for 1 hr before slicing and eating.
