Autolyse 2 hours then add the salt, sautéed onion and 10g poppy seeds by pinching in
Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and perform 5 stretch and folds at 20 minute intervals
Let bulk rise at room temp about 2 1/2 hours until ready for shaping.
5
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pre-shape by turning the edges up to the center, flipping the enough over, and then using the bench scraper to push the edges under in order to round up the loaf.
Bench rest 20 - 30 minutes, shape into desired style and roll the top in the remaining 40g of poppy seeds before placing into banneton or basket (poppy seeds down).
6
Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight (12 hrs)
Preheat oven and clay baker or DO to 500°F for 1 hour
Turn the loaf out onto a sheet of parchment paper, score in desired pattern then place in the preheated clay baker or DO
Spritz the loaf with water and add a scant 1/8 cup of water under the parchment paper.

Bake covered at 500°F 30 minutes, then uncovered for 20 – 30 minutes more or until desired color is achieved.

Commenti
This was my first attempt with fermented yeast water. I find it provides a more robust rise than flour/water fermentation alone.
