Today, well over the course of two days, i am making my rustic french loaf. Super easy to do, you dont need to kneed, you just need time.

850g all purpose flour
580mL water

and a sprinkling of active dry yeast as a cheater
if you dont have sourdough starter:
7g active dry yeast
900g all purpose (or bread) flour
630 mL water
19g salt
Prep Directions:
mix all to a shaggy dough and let sit for 45 minutes.
then fold the 4 corners in.
do this 3 more times waiting 45 minutes between.
afterwards, place in the refrigerator overnight.
The next day let sit on the counter for an hour, then put the dough out on a lightly floured work area.
cut into 3 equal parts and shape into balls
let these rest for 30 minutes to an hour
then flatten them out, fold over and then over again and seal all the edges well and place seam side up in the proofing basket and cover with shower caps.
let these proof for 1-2 hours
Cooking Directions:
preheat oven to 500.
put bakign stones on top and botom racks.
make sure there is a pan on the bottom.
place bread right on the stone and score with a lame right down the middle.
spray them with water on top and then put ice cubes in the tray on the bottom.
cook for 15 minutes and then lower the temperature to 450 for 30 minutes.
after that crack the oven door and let cook for another 10 minutes then take them out.
let them rest and cool down before cutting into them
