- 10 gram Salt 1.5 tsp salt - approx. 10-12 grams
Instructions
Late afternoon day 1:
- Mix autolyse dough of water and flour types and let the dough rest for 1 hour so the flour can absorb the water.

Folding process
- With moist hands, fold the dough under itself.
- Let the dough rise for 30 minutes.

- Sprinkle with more flour and cover with the cloth.
- Place in the refrigerator until the next morning.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit) and place a baking sheet or baking steel inside.
