Instructions.
Ingredients.

1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, not forgetting that the dough will rise to double or more of its original size. Only mix as much that no more raw flour can be seen.
2. Now let the dough rise overnight, for about 12h or more. To bake the bread you need some form of a heavy bottom oven dish, a cast iron pot with a tight fitting lid would be the best option but anything you can put in the oven and cover with aluminum foil works just as well.
3. Before you can bake your bread, push out the air of your now fluffy dough and transfer it into a smaller well-oiled bowl, letting it rise again for 20-30 minutes, while you preheat the oven on its highest setting, together with the baking dish of your choice.
4. When properly risen take out the dish, oil it up quickly and put the dough gentle down. Cover with lid or foil, and bake covered for half an hour, and another 15 minutes uncovered. To check if your bread is finished, tap the bottom which should sound hollow and be crispy.
5. Let it cool completely on a wired rack or similar before slicing it up. We serve ours with creamy homemade hummus which is definitely recommended.
