No Knead Bread

Recipe

 

Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose, bread flour, or Type 00 Italian pizza dough flour (I love this flour, it is a very soft flour), plus more for dusting

  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1.5 cups plus 2 tablespoons, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky.

  2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or clean kitchen towel.

  3. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.

  4. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it

  5. sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice.

  6. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about ~15 minutes.

  7. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball.

  8. Let it rest for ~30 minutes

  9. Divide dough in 8 equal pieces for pizza or two pieces for focaccia

  10. Cook in preheated 400 degree oven for focaccia and 500 for pizza
