Sprinkle in the salt and remaining water and knead the dough again until the salt and water are nicely incorporated. Cover the dough and let it rest for 4-5 hours. You can also place it in the fridge overnight and let it slowly rise for 8-10 hours.
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. Wet your hands and stretch the dough into a large rectangle. The dough should be soft and move easily! Grab the top side (the edge farthest from you) and fold it down ⅓ of the way. Do the same with the bottom. Fold it over the folded top so you have a long narrow rectangle.
Use a bench scraper to flip the dough over. Repeat the steps, starting with stretching the dough to form the rectangle. Once you’ve got the dough back to a round shape, place it into a lightly floured proofing basket. Cover and let it rise in the fridge for 2 hours.
Gently place the dough onto a floured sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle some of the flour on top of the loaf. Use a lame to score the top and sides of the dough. Sometimes I like to be cute and cut out cute shapes like hearts.
Heat the oven to 450F. Once it has preheated, set the timer for a bake time of 40-45 minutes. After 40 minutes, uncover it and bake for another 5-10 minutes depending on your desired golden color. Remove it from the oven, let it rest on a cutting board, slice, and enjoy!
