## Tips

- You can adjust the amount of water depending on the flour you use.
- You only need a tiny amount of yeast for a long, slow fermentation and rich flavor.
- If your room is warmer, the dough will ferment faster; if cooler - a bit slower.
- You can divide the dough directly on parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the oven.
