No-Knead Dough

Flour, water, salt and very little yeast, mixed with a spoon just until there's no dry flour; the wet dough rises, covered, at room temperature overnight, and instead of kneading it's folded twice on a floured surface.

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and yeast, add the water and stir with a wooden spoon about 1 minute, until there's no dry flour. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.

    Cover with plastic wrap and Let rise 12–18 hours at room temperature, until the dough doubles in volume and its surface is full of bubbles.

    💡A little yeast and a long time do the work of kneading: in the wet dough the gluten develops on its own, and the bread gets a deep flavor and large bubbles.
  3. 3
    Flour a work surface, turn the dough out onto it with a spatula and fold it twice, like a letter.

    💡The dough is wet and sticky: flour the surface and your hands, not the dough itself, and fold with quick movements so you don't knock out the bubbles.
