- Let rise at room temperature until slightly bubbly, 2-3 hours.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 5 days (the longer the time, the more sour the mix will be).

- Add seed mix and incorporate into dough (about one additional minute in a stand mixer).
- Cover dough and let rise at room temperature until bubbly and nearly doubled, 3-4 hours.
- Mix dough with a spoon or spatula to deflate; pour into a greased 2-pound bread mold.
- Give the dough a final rise until bubbly and slightly risen, 1-2 hours. Optionally, refrigerate overnight for more complex flavor.

- Remove bread from pan and return to oven, bake for an additional 30 minutes.
