Start with 400 grams of all-purpose white flour.

Add 1 teaspoon (8 grams) of table salt to the flour and mix.

Add 1/8 teaspoon of instant dry yeast to the mixture.

In a separate container, combine 20 grams of apple cider vinegar with 255 grams of water.

Pour the vinegar-water mixture into the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes a smoother dough.

Cover the dough and let it sit for 12 hours to ferment and rise.

After 12 hours, remove the dough from the container and check its texture and aroma.

Line a banneton with whole wheat flour to prevent sticking.

Perform a series of folds on the dough (4 folds) to develop its structure.

Shape the dough into a tight ball and place it into the lined banneton.

Let the dough rest for 2 hours.

After 1.5 hours, preheat a Dutch oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.

After 2 hours of resting, carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven.

Score the top of the dough to allow for proper rise during baking.

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes at 475 degrees.
