+### INGREDIENTI
+
+- flour (ideally bread flour but if you don't have it, it's not the end of the world)
+- water
+- salt
+- yeast (i use the little dried packet stuff)
+
+### RATIOS
+
+To start measure the weight of flour; this is what we'll work from. You can now work out how much of the other ingredients you need using these ratios:
+
+- 65% water
+- 2% salt
+- 0.5% yeast (this amount doesn't particularly matter, as long as it's in this ballpark)
+
+So if we used 1kg of flour for example, the recipe would look like this:
+
+- 1000g flour
+- 650g water
+- 20g salt
+- 5g yeast
+
+### STEPS
+
+1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl nad mix until the flour is hydrated (you do not need to knead it, just bring it together).
+2. Put in the fridge to slowly proof for at least a day.
+3. Remove dough as required from the fridge and place in desired baking vessel (you don't have to bake it all at once, I sometimes make a big batch and bake multiple things over the cours of a few days).
+4. Proof in vessel for an additional hour or so at room temperature.
+5. Bake!
