good freshness due to long baking time, with strong taste

The day before baking, prepare the sourdough, pre-dough, and bread flavoring: Place the sourdough ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and let it rest at room temperature for 16-24 hours. Also place the pre-dough ingredients in a bowl. Let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate for 14 hours. For the bread flavoring, place the ingredients in a tall mug, mix well, and refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator 2 hours before baking and blend with a hand blender. On baking day: Knead all ingredients (sourdough, pre-dough, bread flavoring, and main dough) in a food processor with the dough hook on the lowest setting for 6-8 minutes until you have a smooth dough, then cover and let it rest for 1 hour. Knead the dough, carefully shape it into a loaf, and place it seam-down in a floured proving basket. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 250°C. Once the dough has risen well, which can take up to 3 hours, turn it out onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and place it in the oven with steam. After about 10 minutes of baking, release the steam and reduce the oven temperature to 200°C. Bake the loaf for a total of 70 minutes. It’s important that the loaf is baked thoroughly, as this is the only way to develop its rich bread flavor and preserve its freshness.
