San Francisco Sourdough Boule

A classic San Francisco-style sourdough with a tangy, open crumb and a crackling crust. Folding and stretching the dough every thirty minutes over a four-hour bulk ferment, rather than kneading once, is what builds the strength needed for that signature open, airy crumb.
