Instruction

1. Mixing and proofing

• Mix all purpose flour with 1/2 tsp table salt in mixing bowl
• Add 1/2 tsp instant yeast and lukewarm water in and mix all ingredient until combined into sticky dough
• Cover the dough by cotton cloth or plastic wrap and proof in 2 hours at room temperature
• After 2 hours, refrigerate the dough in 8-12 hours (or overnight) for 2nd proofing

2. Shaping and Baking

• Transfer proved dough on baking mat or surface that covered a layer of flour (to prevent sticking)
• Knead the dough a few times and shape into a ball
• Place dough ball on baking tray that lined parchment paper or baking mat. Cover a thin layer of plain flour on top
• Proof at room temperature in 45-60 minutes
• Preheat oven at 200-210 Celsius degree in 10-15 minutes before baking and place a water tray in lowest level of oven

Because no-knead bread is drier and crunchy so the steam from water tray will prevent the bread from being too dry

• Score some cuts on bread dough (for decorating) with the designs as your favorite
• Bring the dough to bake at 200 Celsius degree in 15-20 minutes or until it turn to golden brown
• Remove bread from oven, chill at room temperature and store in closed plastic bag.
