   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  sourdough starter -- (226 g)
   1 1/4           cups  warm water -- (207g)
   1 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast
   3 1/2           cups  bread flour -- or whole wheat bread flour, (490g)
   1         tablespoon  kosher salt
                         semolina flour -- for finishing

For many, the French-style sourdough boule (a giant round of crusty 
sourdough goodness) is the queen of from-scratch breads. Much like 
with baguettes, the less you work the dough, the better the final 
boule loaf will be.This recipe uses our sourdough starter recipe.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, 
combine starter with warm water. Beat at medium speed until combined 
(about 3 minutes). Add remaining ingredients, beating at medium speed 
until a soft dough forms. (If the dough appears too dry and crumbly, 
add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) The dough should come 
together as one mass and should appear shaggy and feel sticky.

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl. Cover and 
let stand in a warm, draft-free place (75F) for 1 to 2 hours, or 
until doubled in size.

Turn risen dough out onto a lightly oiled surface and deflate it to 
remove excess gas and air.

Pull the four corners of the dough into the center, pinching with 
your fingertips to create a seal. Flip the dough over and begin to 
tighten the round by cupping your palms around the dough while rotating it.

Line a bowl (approximately 6 to 8" in diameter) with a clean kitchen 
towel, dusted generously with flour. Place the loaf, seam-side up, in 
the bowl. Cover and proof in a warm, draft-free place (75F) for 1 to 
2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450F. Turn the dough out into a cast-iron vessel 
with a lid, such as a Dutch oven. Dust the boule with semolina flour 
and score, using a sharp knife (or a lame) to make 3 or 4, 1/4" deep 
cuts across the top.

Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Increase the temperature to 475F, 
remove the lid, and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, until loaf 
is deeply browned. Turn out onto a rack and let cool completely before slicing.
