6 grams Sea Salt (1.5 tsp)
350 ml Yogurt Whey (or fresh water) (1.5 cups)
Instructions
Warm whey (or water) to 100˚ F).

Place dough in Instant Pot and push the Yogurt button and adjust until display reads 24:00 and “Less.” Use the – button and adjust down to 3 hours. Place cover on Instant Pot.
When Instant Pot beeps, place a Cast Iron Dutch Oven into your oven and turn oven on to 500 degrees.Remove dough from Instant Pot and place onto a floured surface. Sprinkle a little flour on to top of dough and form into a ball.
Cover with a tea towel and bench rest 30 minutes. (That means leave on the counter undisturbed.)
