Really good with added herbs, millet or other flours.

Ingredients: list them here

• 1 package (7 grams) active dry yeast
• 2 cup (500 ml) of water (~100 degrees)
• 4 1/2 cups (571 grams) bread or all-purpose flour (you can substitute one cup of whole wheat or other flour)
  
• 1 teaspoon (5.7 grams) salt
• (optional ingredients: 1  tsp dried thyme and 1 tsp rosemary)
  

Directions

1. Activate the yeast by mixing it with water and a tablespoon of sugar. You want the water to be at about 100 degrees, which you can check with a thermometer (or just heat up the water in the microwave for about 30 seconds at full power to get it to this temp). The yeast takes about 10 minutes to activate.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients together — flour (add about 90% and reserve 10% of it to add as you go) and salt.
3. Mix the activated yeast with the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a shaggy dough ball.
4. Transfer dough into a lightly-oiled bowl.
5. Cover bowl with cling film and allow dough to proof for ~ 1 hour at room temp.
6. Lightly flour countertop and turn dough out onto the counter. Add a bit more flour on top to reduce stickiness.
7. Start folding and shaping dough. Remember this is no-knead bread. All we are looking to do here is shape the dough into a taut boule.
8. Flour a bowl/banneton and transfer shaped dough, smooth side down.
9. Sprinkle a bit more flour on the bottom.
10. Cover with towel and rest for ~ 30 minutes, preheat your oven 500 degrees. Make sure cast-iron pans are in the oven while preheating.
11. Flip dough from bowl/banneton into pan. BE CAREFUL as the pan will be HOT!
12. Score bread with razor blade, creating your desired pattern.
13. Cover with top half of cast-iron pan and place in oven; immediately reduce heat to 450 degrees.
14. Bake for 20 minutes, uncover and place back in oven for an additional 20 minutes.
15. Place on cooling rack and let rest for ~ 1 hour.
16. Enjoy!
