步驟

To make the sponge: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. The night before you want to make bread, combine the 1/4 teaspoon yeast, 2/3 cup (152g) warm water, and 1 1/3 cups (160g) flour. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.

To make the dough: The next day, combine the sponge with the dough ingredients.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Place the dough in a well-greased bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover the bowl, and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
