Dave's Precipice Bread

3 cups unbleached white flour
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp salt

Stir the lot

Take 2.5 cups warmish water, maybe a little more, and stir in a quarter at a time. Until the whole bundle comes together, nice and doughy.

Cover with something impervious to keep the moisture in, and a towel, and leave at room temperature overnight.

At break of day, spread out dough over sprinkling of flour, and push flat. Fold it in upon itself. Turn over and tuck in at the fold. Leave fold-down for an hour at room temp, covered with a towel.

Pre-heat oven to 500 F, with dutch oven inside. Then lower to 450 and tip dough into dutch oven, fold-up.

Cook for 50 mins. Test temp at centre if you’ve got the gizmo – should be at least 195 F.

Enjoy (delicious anytime, very particularly good on long hikes; lasts well)

PS Dave Neads' bread needs no kneading
