Wild Yeast Bread

Ingredients
STARTER
- Flour
- Water
- Mix equal parts and allow to steep on your counter in a Mason jar until bubbly.
BREAD
- 4 cups flour
- Tsp. salt
- 2 cups water (or slightly less)
- 1/2 cup starter
- Dough will be very sticky and wet. That's important.
Preparation
Mix flour, salt and water; add starter. Put in covered container for a minimum of eight hours. Spatula out onto floured counter, knead or stretch until not so sticky. Place in container, cover and allow to rest two more hours.
Using a cast iron pot with cover to bake, place the pot in the oven and heat to 500-degrees for about 30 minutes. Take dusted dough ball and drop in and cover. Bake 10 minutes, reduce heat to 400, bake 10-15 minutes longer, uncover bake until brown - dump out (hopefully your pot is seasoned enough) and enjoy...
