Ingredients:
1 tsp activated yeast
2 to 3 tsp sugar
1 ½ cups filtered water (105°F) (355 ml)
1 to 2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour (360 grams)
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine 1 tsp of activated yeast and 2 to 3 tsp of sugar with 1 ½ cups (355 ml) of filtered water (105°F). Add 1 to 2 tsp of vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Stir in 1 tsp of salt and 3 cups of flour (360 grams). Mix until most of the flour is incorporated.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 1 hour. Placing it near a window can speed up fermentation.
After an hour, use a spatula to fold in all sides of the dough.
Let the dough proof for an additional 1 hour, totaling 2 hours of proofing time.
Once proofed, gently shape the dough on a cutting board.
Divide the dough into two equal pieces and add your own design.
Place the shaped dough on parchment paper.
Preheat a Dutch oven to 450°F (232°C).
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough into the preheated Dutch oven.
Bake for 35 minutes with the lid on and an extra 3-5 minutes with the lid off. Adjust the time as needed based on your oven.
