1. The night before, combine all the ingredients of the leaven, and mix to form a thick batter. Place in a large bowl and cover overnight.

- Cover the bowl and rest for 2 hours.
|
|
- Pour the salt-water into the bowl, pinching and squeezing into the dough.

|
|
- Let the dough rise another 1 hour.
|
|
- Sprinkle some flour on the counter, pour the dough onto it, and split into two equal loaves with a pastry scraper.
|
|
- Work these into rounds by "turning left while driving", and place them into the iron pots, covered. (Place them in an warmed oven, but turn the heat off).
|
|
- Let rise for 1.5 hours.
|
|
- Take them out of the iron pots, and rework them into rounds again. Place back in pots.
|
|
- Score the tops of the loaves with a knife, a cross works.
|
|
