• Stretch and fold the dough. Stretch the top of the dough over the bottom, side over side, and bottom over top. Place the dough back in the bowl with the seam side down. Let the dough rest for 2 hours.

• Coat a proofing basket with flour. Be generous, as you do not want it to stick. You can also use a bowl lined with a towel and a generous amount of flour.
• Flour your hands and swiftly pick up and flip your dough into the basket. Smooth side down, seam side up.
• Cover and place in the fridge overnight for 8-12 hours.
• After 8-12 hours in the fridge, preheat your dutch oven with the lid, in your oven at 450° F. (see notes on temperature)
• Once your oven is preheated, carefully remove your dutch oven and place the lid to the side. *Don't forget that the pot and the lid are both very hot!*
• Cut a large square of parchment paper and place it on the counter. Turn your dough out onto the paper so that the seam side is down and touching the parchment paper.
• Score the dough using a very sharp knife or a scoring tool.
• Picking up all four corners of the parchment paper, move your dough into the dutch oven.
• Place the lid on the dutch oven and bake at 450° F for 30 minutes.
• After baking covered, remove the lid and bake for another 30 minutes at 450° F.
