Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the levain starter, all-purpose flour, water, honey, and salt. Stir until a rough dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Shape the Loaf

    Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a round loaf and place it in a proofing basket or bowl lined with a floured cloth.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 1-2 hours until it has puffed up.

  6. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

  7. 7

    Bake the Bread

    Carefully transfer the dough to a baking stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  8. 8

    Cool the Bread

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
