Directions
In a large bowl:
1. Add all dry ingredients and 1.5 cups of water
2. Stir to a consistency where dough almost does not stick to your fingers

Now
3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap to fit tightly and let sit on counter for 18 hours

After 18 hours
4. Lightly flour a work surface (i.e. wooden board) and place dough on board
5. Fold dough onto itself 3 times (like making an envelope) and cover loosely with clear wrap so air can flow - let sit for 15 minutes

After 15 minutes
6. Place towel (not terrycloth) on a new board and lightly flour the towel
7. Place dough on towel and fold dough over onto itself twice (again like an envelope), leaving dough seam side is down
8. Lightly flour the top of dough and cover with second towel (not terrycloth) and let rest for 1.5 hours
9. Leaving dough to continue resting, place empty cast-iron covered dutch oven pot into oven, setting to 450 deg. and heat up for 1/2 hour
10. After 30 minutes, remove hot pot from oven and quickly turn dough into pot, seam side up
11. Shake pot a little to relax the dough (and a stiff bourbon for yourself)
12. Cover dutch oven again and place back into hot oven and bake for 30 minutes

After 30 minutes
13. Remove cover from pot, leaving pot in oven for another 10-15 minutes until top crust has deep dark color
14. Remove pot from oven and turn bread onto a wire rack, letting cool for 30 minutes
15. Slice and enjoy!

Serving Size: Makes about 16 traditional slices. Awesome with avocado lightly salted , pepper and tomato. Or just add butter!

    I really liked this, but it is expensive and takes a long time to make - 5/15/20

    Kathy thank you for your comment. Yes, it's not cheap - we were very focused on getting the most healthy bread we could create - really we had no idea what the end product would be like, and were pleasantly surprised at the result. See also my FB page https://www.facebook.com/SAFoodsUSA/
