Basic white no-knead dough

This is from the book "Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day" - an incredibly simple 75% hydration dough, plus a bit of salt and yeast.

It makes great bread, rolls or pizza. The slower rise and store time develops flavor and gluten without kneading.

I use a 1 gallon glass lidded jar that always sits in the fridge with dough in it.

Ingredients:

• • 2lbs white flour (all purpose is fine, doesn't need to be bread flour)

  • 1.5lbs (24 floz) warm water

  • 1 tbs instant yeast (if you don't use instant, bloom it in a little of the water first with a teaspoon of sugar)

  • 1 tbs salt (or 1.5 tbs coarse salt).

Method:

• 1. Stir all ingredients together until roughly combined - should be a wet sticky dough that would be very difficult to knead.

  2. Leave at room temp to start rising for about 2 hours.

  3. Store covered in fridge for 24 hrs to 2 weeks

Whenever you want bread, you then just tear off a chunk and bake at approx 400 degrees.
