Stage 4 - 1 hour
Gather the dough (it is quite normal for this to be very sticky) into a ball and transfer to a clean bowl. Cover with a sheet of plastic. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
Stage 5 - 2 min.
After resting, "break" the dough (similar to knocking back with a firmer dough) by stretching it upwards and letting it fall back sharply into the bowl. Do this 2 or 3 times.
Stage 6 - 4 hours
Gather the dough into a ball again, cover with plastic film and leave in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
The dough will be easier to handle when it is really cold. Tip it onto a floured work surface and press it flat, then shape into a loaf: round, long (like this one), or whatever you prefer.
Place the loaf on a baking sheet.
