Ok heres the reciepe in weight not volume In a kitchen mixer or by hand at
5pm 9 oz water cool 18 oz all purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon instant yeast
fermipan is a good yeast, no need to proof just put together and mix Mix
with dough hook about 5 minutes if very stiff finish by hand but back in
bowl cover with plastic wrap let sit in a cool 65F place till 9 am about 15
hours mix with dough hook for 1 minute so dough grabs hook add 1 and 1/2
teasponn instant yeast 1 and 3/4 teasp salt, continued
Slowly add 1/2 cup cool water, a tablespoon at a time down the side of bowl
about 5 minutes when all water is absorbed mix on #3 for 10 minutes it
should be very soupy Cover bowl with palstic wrap and allow to proof 2
hours Pour onto well floured board, shape into loaf by sqeezing and rolling
(see other videos for demontration place in well floured cloth and wrap
with cloth allow to proof 1 hour, roll from cloth to well floured peel so
it is upside down slide onto stone or preheated sheet pan
also the stone should be preheated in oven at 455f bake about 20 minutes
Some important notes This is a long cool fermentation(which gives it the
great flavor) with a vey stiff dough to begin with, also called a biga
using a floured dough docker will make it easier to work with turning it
upside down before putting it in oven will help with the big holes
questions? ask away adding the second water is the most diffucult part just
add slowly

Did you really just take the bread out of the oven and put it directly into

I am no expert but the crust doesn’t look good and crum looks rubbery.
