4. Cover the bowl or pail with plastic wrap and allow the no-knead dough to bulk ferment for at least 3 hours at room temperature. Another option is to cold ferment the no-knead dough overnight in the refrigerator.
5. Once the dough has gone through the fermentation process, Transfer the dough onto a flour working surface and divide it in half.
6. Fold and shape each dough piece into a round boule, which doesn’t need to be perfectly round, and transfer onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to give enough space in between both loaves as they will expand during the final proofing.
7. If you want to bake on a stone, dust a board or tray with some rice flour or semolina and place the formed dough onto it.
8. Cover the boules with plastic wrap and allow them to proof at ambient temperature for 70-80 minutes.
9. While the loaves are proofing, preheat your oven to 455°F (235°C) and set the rack to the middle position. Place an empty shallow pan on the oven rack below to add hot water to create steam during the baking.
10. Once the bread is fully proofed, dust the top with some flour and place it into the oven. If you baking on a stone, carefully slide it onto the stone.
