A Good Long Rise

Some days hold nothing more exciting than a well risen loaf of bread.

In addition to making pitas, lately I have been experimenting with rise and baking times of my boules.  This loaf was made with 4 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp of yeast, and 1 1/2 cups warm water.  It rose for 24 hours at room temperature and then 24 hours in the fridge.  It was baked at 400 degrees F in a dutch oven for 35 min with the lid on and then an additional 20 minutes with the lid off.  Nice ear.  Fluffy texture.  Crunchy crust.  A success by all measures.
