6. Place the ball into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap tightly for 24 hrs.
7. After the 24 hrs - Pre heat your oven to 450 degrees, once at 450, place Dutch oven without the cover in fr 30 min.
8. While waiting the 30 min, roll dough into a ball using fresh flour sprinkled on the counter (cover and let rest).
9. When the 30 min are up, remove the Dutch oven and place a piece of pre cut parchment paper in the bottom place the dough onto the parchment paper and sprinkle half handful of flour.
10. Cut an “X” across the dough.

12. Remove cover and continue baking for 8-15 minutes (this depends on your oven, mine usually takes 8 min to get a golden crust on top, just keep an eye on it).
