Maltese bread, similar to ciabatta
Make a sourdough starter from the first three ingredients and let it rest for about 6-8 hours. For the main dough, combine all ingredients and knead thoroughly for about 20 minutes. Let the dough rest for another 1 hour. Cover the dough and let it mature slowly in the refrigerator for another 18-20 hours. Shape the dough into two equal-sized, oblong loaves and let them rest for about 30 minutes. Then place in an oven preheated to 250°C and bake for 15 minutes. Be sure to add water to an ovenproof container so that the bread is well moistened. Then reduce the temperature to 200°C and bake for another 45 minutes.
