Directions

In a large bowl add your bread flour, salt, yeast and water and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Dough will be sticky.
Cover bread for 20 minutes and do one stretch and fold.
Cover again and place in a warm spot for 5 hours until the dough has at least doubled in size. *In this photo my dough has risen for 5 hours.
Remove the dough from the bowl and add to a floured surface.
Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour.
Cut dough into two pieces and form into a long roll with thin ends. As you pick up the dough it will stretch into a perfect shape.
Place the dough on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Cover for 20-30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 475º on convection bake.
Once the oven is heated, remove the cover from the bread and place in hot oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is browned.
Let cool slightly before slicing.
