Method
 

Making the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  2. Stir in warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add the seed mix and mix until combined.
Letting It Rise
  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 8–12 hours, or until doubled in size and bubbly.
Shaping the Dough
  1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently fold it a few times into a round or oval shape. No kneading necessary.
Second Rise
  1. Place the dough seam-side down on parchment. Cover and let it rise for 45–60 minutes while the oven preheats.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.
  2. When hot, carefully place the dough into the Dutch oven (parchment and all), score the top, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until deeply golden.
Cooling
  1. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Toast the seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing them in for enhanced flavor. Hydration is key; don’t add too much flour to keep the dough sticky for an airy crumb.
