Finished dough

• Knead on medium 7-10 minutes (#4 on my KitchenAid) It will not come away from bowl until last minute. When finished dough should be smooth, shiny and stick to your fingers.
• With oiled spatula, scrape down sides of bowl. If not stiff, add flour. If not sticky add water.
• Rise to double at 75° - 80°.
•  Punch down very gently, don't push out all the air. 
• Two envelope fold.

• Rise to double

• Turn out onto lightly floured bench

• Divide in half for two loaves. I made two boule 

• Place into lightly greased loaf pans. I used a cloth lined Banneton to proof my boule

• Cover lightly with plastic wrap. I use a cotton towel
• Rise in 80° temperature and 80% humidity proofing environment until loaf is 1" above top of loaf pan, test with finger press that will very slowly fill in. I use a Banneton to form the loaf. Then I bake it "free form"

• Preheat oven for 15 minutes to 450°. Rack in middle of oven, use pizza stone and place a steam pan to heat on bottom of oven. I also use the "Roasting Pan Lid" method* of steaming my bread. 

Spray boule with water prior to baking, score with lame, 15 minutes under the lid, then the rest of the time no lid. Reduce oven temperature to 400° after removing steaming lid.

This just came out of the oven, you can still see the steam coming off of it

Ready to place the boule onto the peel and spay with water
