Chef Dan Wilson's Virtual Table

Ingredients

1. Combine All ingredients into a stiff batter.
2. Grease a large metal bowl and stick batter in. Turn over to coat dough with oil.
3. Cover with foil and let stand at room temp overnight.
4. Next morning punch down dough by folding over on itself to remove gas buildup.
5. Divide into 2 parts and fold each piece over on itself repeatedly to form a smooth skin on one side.
6. Grease 2 loaf pans and put in each piece with smooth skin up.
7. Let stand at room temp for 4 or 5 hours (until the dough doubles)
8. Coat with melted buter then sprinke kosher salt or sea salt on top.
9. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Bread should temp at 190-200 when done.
10. Let stand on wire rack for 1 hour or as long as you can take it. (I sometimes eat it while it is so hot it burns my fingers. I know it is wrong and I don't care!)
