Ingredients

365g wheat flour
50g rye flour
1 tsp dry yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
450ml water (40°C–45°C)

Method

Step 1

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the water and gently stir the ingredients just to mix. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours.
Step 2

Put the cast iron pot in a cold oven with the lid on. Heat the oven to 240°C degrees and let the pot heat up in the oven for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3

Flour the baking tray and pour the dough onto the tray. Shape the dough by stretching it from the edges and folding the edges to the centre. Repeat a few times. Turn the dough upside down and let it rise for 30–60 min.
Step 4

Put the dough in the preheated pot and put the lid on it. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the surface of the bread is nicely browned.
Step 5

Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
