Ingredients:
1 tsp activated yeast ≈ 5 grams
2 tsp sugar ≈ 10 grams
1 tsp salt ≈ 5 grams
1 ½ cups of water (110°F) ≈ 355 milliliters
3 cups of whole wheat flour (approximate values)
Whole wheat flour: Approximately 360-375 grams
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast, sugar, salt, and water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour to the bowl. Mix until all the flour is incorporated and no dry patches remain.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 1 hour, allowing it to rise.
Fold in all sides of the dough to release any excess air and enhance the structure.
Proof the dough for an additional 1-2 hours, allowing it to rise and develop flavor.
Preheat the Dutch oven to 450°F (230°C).
Carefully transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven, ensuring it is evenly shaped.
Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and bake the bread for 35 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to achieve a golden crust.
Once baked, remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool before slicing.
