Ingredients
  

  • 500 g bread flour
  • 50 g whole wheat flour
  • 400 g water, room temperature
  • 100 g active sourdough starter
  • 10 g fine sea salt
  • 20 g sesame seeds
  • 20 g sunflower seeds
  • 20 g flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp mixed seeds for the crust

Method
 

  1. Combine flours, water, and starter in a large bowl. Stir until no dry flour remains. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle salt and the 60 g of seeds over the dough. Pinch and fold for about 2 minutes to incorporate evenly.
  3. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, performing 4 sets of stretch and folds during the first 2 hours, one set every 30 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into a tight boule. Dampen the top and press it firmly into the 2 tbsp mixed seeds. Place seam side up in a floured banneton, cover, and refrigerate 12 to 16 hours.
  5. Preheat a Dutch oven with lid at 500°F for 30 minutes. Turn dough onto parchment, score, lower into the pot, cover, and bake 20 minutes. Uncover, reduce heat to 450°F, and bake 20 to 25 minutes until deep brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour, then slice and serve.

Notes

This recipe includes a long cold fermentation (12 to 16 hours in the fridge) and a 1-hour cooling period, neither of which is counted in the prep or cook time. Plan accordingly.
