Nutmeg Free Classic Sourdough Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a crackling, mahogany-crusted loaf from a screaming-hot Dutch oven, and this sourdough delivers that moment every single time. The ingredient list is beautifully stripped back — just starter, water, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and sea salt — so there is genuinely nothing hidden in here to worry about, no spice blends, no pre-mixed seasonings, no surprises. That simplicity is actually what makes the flavor so remarkable: a slow overnight cold proof develops a complex, tangy depth that no shortcut loaf can match. The stretch-and-fold technique builds structure gradually, giving you an open, airy crumb without any heavy kneading. Scoring the cold dough before it hits that blazing Dutch oven lets the loaf spring dramatically upward, creating those gorgeous ears and blisters on the crust. The hardest part of the whole process is honestly waiting the full hour before you slice into it, but the reward is a crumb that holds together cleanly and a crust that shatters in the best possible way. Once you bake your own, store-bought bread starts to feel like a real compromise.
