Method

1. Mix the sourdough ingredients and leave to ferment for 18 hours at 86°F.

2. Mix the soaker ingredients and let sit for 2-3 hours.
3. Place the wet ingredients, including the sourdough and soaker, in a 20-quart mixer. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed for 10 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Increase speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled tub and let rest at room temperature until the dough increases in size by 30%, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
5. Divide into equal portions of either 1 ½-pounds or 3-pounds, depending on the size of your loaf pans or baskets. Shape dough into rounds or ovals and let them proof in the pans or baskets until increased by 30-40% more in volume, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
6. Place dough into convection ovens preheated to 375°F. Once dough is in the oven, reduce heat to 350°F and bake, with steam if possible, for 35 minutes or until the bread is chestnut in color, crusty, and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
