Found some youtube 5min videos. Well, it took less than 5 minutes to prepare but the total time is 12 hours, oven time included. Here in Finland we don't usually use grams when baking, but this time i did that. We usually use deciliters (dl). One dl is 65g of flour.
Flour 500g what we in Nordics use for bread etc. i don't know what type it is, sorry, it has 14g proteins, 7g fibers, 2.5g fats and 63% carbonhydrates... And it is not coarse but not that fine and white either.
Salt one big tsp, maybe two small ones?
Dry yeast 1-2g
Water 400g ie 4 dl, room temperature at tropics, ie so that it feels slighlty warm in fingers, but barely, 30C. water amount depends a bit what kind of flour you are using.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, about 2 minutes, do not knead. Cover it and let it rise 10-12 hours, do not disturb.
One hour before you devour it, set your oven to 250C, sprinkle good cover flour on countertop.
Scrape the dough carefully with doughscraper (or as i did, large spoon) on the counter and sprinkle more flour on the dough. Cut it half and carefully lift it on tray with baking paper, so that both loaves fits on the tray.
Shove them in the oven for 25 minutes and pull it out. Wrap them in IKEA-kitchencloth, prepare your favourite beverage, take some salted, i mean really salted butter ready, also maybe orange marmelade.
When the beverage is ready, cut the bread in desired chunks and spread hefty amount of butter on them and enjoy your morning.
It will steam about 15-20 minutes after pulling out from oven. So you don't have to burn your fingers for Social media posts.

I shamelessly ate one alone. Family got the second one.

Looks delicious! Also, how interesting about the deciliters thing. I think in Switzerland they also use dl a lot, but AFAIK only for liquids, not for things like flour.

Also, the flour and other grains and seeds are sort of liquids.

It is because back in the days there weren't any good scales around in a regular home. But all the produce was uniform, so it was just easier to weigh certain units once, by the manufacturer (65g for all purpose bread flour in this case).
My grandparents still had homemade wooden boxes 1, 2, 5, 10dl sizes. Easy to build out of thin pieces of wood and glue. Granny used these until her death in 1994.

250° C = 482° F

Are you the unitconversionbot?
GBMaker
No, but... sometimes folks use °C when they mean °F, with potentially frightening results.

we don't use obsolete units. Good luck finding a domestic oven with 450C option :D Even a 300C model is a rarity. This is why i haven't bought a new one yet, it is almost impossible to find a 300C variant. 250C is usually max.
