“But, in my testing, I happened upon an even more convenient method: letting the ball of dough proof in a towel-lined mixing bowl, then, after proofing, I would place an inverted aluminum sheet tray directly over the smaller bowl, and flip the tray and bowl together before carefully removing the cloth. You wind up with a tall, shapely ball of dough that’s ready to bake.”
Explain to me “smaller bowl”. What is the larger bowl doing and where does it come into this picture?
Edited to add that I have made hundreds of the “no knead” bread using the Dutch oven method.
