1. In the bowl of a mixer (or by hand), whisk together 1 3/4 cups warm water and 1/2 tsp molasses until dissolved.
2. In a large glass or plastic bowl, whisk together 2 1/3 cups bread flour, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 tsp yeast and 2 tsp salt. Add water mixture to flour mixture and mix until you have a single mass of dough. Using a dough hook or clean hands, knead dough 4 minutes. Dough should be soft and feel sticky to the touch but should not stick to clean and dry finger tips. If your dough is too sticky after kneading, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
3. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temp (69-75˚F) for 4 hours. Every hour while it rests (3 times total), with a wet hand, punch the dough down and fold it over onto itself a few times (a wet hand will keep the dough from sticking to you without adding any unnecessary flour).
4. After rising a total of 4 hours, draw dough edges into the center, turn over and place in a large well-floured bowl, sprinkle the dough with flour, cover with a tea towel and let rise 1 1/2 hours at room temp.

Rating: 4.8/5(4)
1. Add the 6 cups of flour, 2-1/2 teaspoons of yeast and 2 teaspoons of fine sea salt to mixing bowl of a stand mixer; stir with a dough hook on low speed until combined.
2. Slowly add 2-3/4 cups of hot water (not scalding) to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until incorporated. Dough should be somewhat elastic and sticky and will stick to bottom of bowl. If it's too soupy, add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour until combined. (Note: dough should be mixed but not kneaded, and will still have some lumps.)
3. Remove dough hook from bowl and cover bowl loosely with saran wrap and then a tea towel. Set in a warm place and let rise 1.5 to 2 hours until almost doubled. Do not let dough over-rise and spill over top of bowl.
4. When dough is almost risen, grease bottom and sides of a dutch oven with olive oil. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
