Making the Dough
Stir together flour, salt, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Stir in water until you have a wet, sticky dough, about 30 seconds. Make sure it’s really sticky to the touch; if not, mix in another 1 to 2 Tbsp of water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and sit at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, until the surface is dotted with bubbles and dough more than doubles in size, 12 to 18 hours. This slow rise—fermentation—is the key to flavor. Flour a work surface and scrape out the dough. Divide it into 6 equal parts (or 252 grams each) and shape them. For each portion, start with the right side of the dough and pull it toward the center, then do the same with the left, then the top, then the bottom. If you don't intend to use the dough right away, wrap the balls individually in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Return to room temperature by leaving them out on the counter, covered in a damp cloth, for 2 to 3 hours before needed.

Ingredients 2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 2 sticks butter, at room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 2/3 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 (10-ounce) block high quality semisweet chocolate, chopped Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon pads.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium until creamy. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat on medium until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and mix on low to combine. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low into the batter. Form the dough into 3½-ounce balls (1/3 cup each). Place 4 balls an equal distance apart on a prepared pan and transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes before baking. After you put the first baking sheet in the oven, put the second one in the freezer. Place the chilled baking sheet in the oven and bake 10 minutes, until the cookies are puffed slightly in the center. Lift the side of the baking sheet up about 4 inches and gently let it drop down against the oven rack, so the edges of the cookies set and the inside falls back down (this will feel wrong, but trust me). After the cookies puff up again in 2 minutes, repeat lifting and dropping the pan. Repeat a few more times to create ridges around the edge of the cookie. Bake 16 to 18 minutes total, until the cookies have spread out and the edges are golden brown but the centers are much lighter and not fully cooked. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely before removing the cookies from the pan. Recipe
