Instant Yeast. .25 oz. 1 1/2 tsp. .9%

Sugar .13 oz. .5%
Dissolve starter in Water
Add remainder of ingredients.
Mix 5 min at medium speed (Speed 3 on my Cuisinart 7qt mixer)
Mix 5 minutes at speed 4
2 hr ferment @ 77deg with 2 folds
Shape and retard for 2-3 hrs,
Room temp for approx 1 hour.
Bake with steam on Baking Steel @ 450 deg. Time will vary depending on loaf size.
Can't read the recipe but the bread looks great. :)
Hope it tastes as good as it looks!
