Directions

Step 1
Combine starter, water, yeast, salt and flour in a large bowl. Whisk with dough whisk until a shaggy dough forms. Knead dough with your hands until a smooth dough forms, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer dough using the rounded side of the bowl scraper to a lightly greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel until doubled in size, about 1 hour and 30 minutes
Step 3
Gently divide the dough in half using the flat side of the dough scraper. Preshape each piece of dough by pulling edges into the center and turning so that the seam side is down. Roll, with cupped hands, to form a ball.
Step 4
Lightly dust proofing baskets with rice flour and gently place the dough inside. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat oven and Dutch oven to 425°F.
Step 5
Turn out the loaves onto pieces of parchment paper. Mist the loaves with lukewarm water and dust generously with rice flour. Score each loaf using a lame to create desired design. Carefully place 1 loaf into the preheated Dutch oven and cover
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until deep golden-brown. Remove loaf from oven, and cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
