  • 120 grams levain

Method

    Add (softened) butter, knead well until you get a smooth homogenous dough.

  • Step 4

    Leave the dough to proof until double, giving it a fold every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.

  • Step 5

    Cold retard overnight (or you can do a same day bake too).

  • Step 6

    Tip the dough out onto a well-oiled tray and let it proof.

  • Step 7

    Preheat oven at 250C for at least 30min.

  • Step 8

    Gently stretch the dough outwards towards the rim of the pan and dimple it. Add your favorite toppings.
