No Knead Bread
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
¼ teaspoon instant yeast
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
cornmeal or wheat bran as needed
2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
3. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.
Bread on left let rise 24 hours, Right 8 hours rising time

2. Layer the fabric in this order: bottom layer, face up, top layer, face down. (These two layers ae now right sides together.) Finally, cotton batting goes on top. The corner has been turned down so you can see the order and direction fabric will face.
3. Pin the three layers together, and stitch with cotton side up, making sure you catch all three layers. I used a 1/2" seam to make it easier. Leave a 6"-10" section unsewn so that you can turn the quilt right side out.
5. Sew opening closed by hand or by machine.
