This bread has the best flavor, appearance and crumb of all the breads I make. Don't rush it, let it fully rise each time. I use a dutch oven (cast iron pot with cover) so I can contain the steam like a commercial oven. You can spray the top with water and sprinkle salt or caraway seeds. I'm still looking for a way to make the crust crispy. Some of the ingredients are by weight, sorry (trust me it's worth it)

1 Loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

15 ounces all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
7 ounces water
3 ounces beer (not dark)
1 teaspoon white vinegar

Directions

1
The critacal factor is using a dutch over to bake.
2
Stir the salt into the flour then the yeast. Add the wet items and knead for 5 minutes. Let rise for 2 hours.
3
Fold several times and rise again for 2 hours.
4
Spray parchment paper with Pam and form it into a rising bowl. Fold the dough again and shape into a ball and put into the parchment paper. Push down the ball and spray the top lightly with Pam and cover with plastic wrap to get a final rise until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hour).
5
Sprinkle with flour and slash top.
6
Heat oven and dutch oven to 500 degrees for 1/2 hour. Remove dutch oven to stove top and gently lift the partchment paper and dough and place both into the dutch oven and cover.
7
Lower oven temp to 450 and bake covered for 25 minutes.
8
Remove cover and bake another 15-20 minutes until golden brown or until bread internal temp is 200.
9
Cool uncovered.
