Peasant loaf

In a stand mixer bowl mix bread flour, salt and yeast, then add water and run at very low speed, stopping now and then to scrape the sides down with the dough hook, until it forms a ball.

Scrape the dough in one piece into an oiled container and leave to proof.

Transfer to a larger vessel when it outgrows the container.

Fold each corner over to the opposite side so the smooth side faces up, then give a final proof.

Move onto parchment on a baking sheet, score, and bake in a very hot oven until golden brown and crusty.
