In the morning, mix the sourdough and water. In a large bowl combine flour and salt.

Fold dough by flattening and folding on itself into three, then in two. Repeat this step every hour for 4 hours.
Line a bowl with a cloth dusted with flour. Put in the dough and shape the dough. At room temperature, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for dough to doubles in volume (2-3 hours).
