About as far from Julia Child’s white bread’ as you can get.

100g fed starter. (Aka levain.)
500g whole grain bread flour.
400g room temp water.
10g salt.

Mix flour and water and let rest for 60-90 min.
Mix in starter and let rest for 30min.
Mix in salt and then ‘stretch and fold’ the dough.
Repeat rest 30 min, stretch and fold 3x.
Let the dough rise about 50% in a warmish place.
Shape the dough for baking.
Slow ferment overnight in the fridge.
Bake in a Dutch oven preheated to 480 covered for 40 minutes
Uncover and continue baking at 440 for 5-10 minutes until nicely brown.
