The formula is advertised as no knead However, I did some stretches & folds. Still the wet dough make a flat loaf
Quick as a jiffy, no knead Italian bread.
I decided to proof the round in a bannoton because it is such a wet dough. (87% hydration) the proofed dough looks great. However, due to obthe high hydration I know it will be a bear to score. So I put it bannoton and all into the freezer for a quick 20 minutes. The end game soon
It would have benefited from a few steach & folds during the first rise. That being said, it looks good. I will add the crumb shot tonight.
OMG! So good, light as a feather! Make sure you check all the photos!

Benny.
Fabulous loaf and method! Did you stretch and fold at all prior to letting it sit for 2-3 hours bulk ferment? or during the 2-3 hours?
Yes, during the first hour two on the 1/2 hours.
