If adding seeds or any other dry addins, soak them in equal weight of warm water.

After 20 minutes, come back and stretch and fold your dough to give it structure. place back into bowl and cover for 40 minutes.
-
After 40 minutes, dump dough out onto a clean counter top (No flour!) and stretch the dough as wide as possible into a big sheet See here. Here is where you can sprinkle your addons. Laminate the dough and form into a tight dough ball. Oil your bowl and place dough back inside. If in Singapore put bowl into fridge.

After 6 hours, flour your working surface, scrape out your dough and divide into 2 balls. fold your dough and place in a banneton to proof. Spray water, score, and bake at 220 C covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake at 190 until done.
