Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your room-temperature sourdough discard with warm water, stir gently, then sprinkle instant yeast and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Add salt and bread flour to the yeast mixture and mix until a shaggy dough forms, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Perform a series of stretch and folds on the dough, resting for 10 minutes in between each folding.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Drizzle olive oil into a 9x13 inch baking pan and coat generously, then transfer the risen dough into the pan.
- Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Dimple the surface of the risen dough deeply and drizzle with more olive oil.
- Sprinkle sea salt over the dimples and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
