Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl) just until combined.
  2. Using a dough hook, knead for 5 minutes. If making by hand, knead for 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl, lightly coated with oil. Cover with plastic and let rise for 4 to 5 hours, turning and folding the dough once or twice.
  4. Form the dough into a ball and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Use a good amount of flour as the dough will be very sticky and the flour will help when slicing the dough on top before baking.
  5. Preheat the over to 230C and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove to a wire rack to cool down at least 45 minutes before cutting.
Recipe Notes

Please note that this bread recipe is without yeast. Make sure that your sourdough is freshly fed and very active. If your dough hasn't grown enough after the recommended prooving time, let it stand for another hour. Yeast free doughs usually take a little while longer.

As you have noticed, this recipe has two options. I strongly recommend the imperial measurements option (2).
