Ingredients
Scale
600 grams of bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
400 grams of water, at room temperature
100 grams of active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
12 grams of sea salt
80 ml of beet juice (from one medium beet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and water. Stir until there are no dry spots. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Add the bubbly sourdough starter and salt to the dough. Pour in the beet juice, and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size. Give the dough a stretch and fold every 30 minutes for the first two hours.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loose ball. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Shape the dough into a round or oval bread. Tuck the edges under to create a smooth surface. Optionally, score the top with a sharp knife.
Place the shaped dough into a well-floured banneton or bowl. Cover and let it rise for another 2-4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven and flip the proofed dough onto parchment paper. Lower the dough into the pot, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool for at least an hour before slicing.
