Cover the bowl with a lid and let it rest for about 2 hours.

After 2 hours, check the dough for rise and hydration.

Perform the first fold by pulling the dough out and folding it over itself.

Cover the dough again and let it rest for another 2 hours, repeating the folding process two more times.

After the final fold, shape the dough and prepare it for baking.
