Use a sharp and tangy yogurt for the “sourdough” effect. If your store-bought yogurt isn't tangy enough, let it sit in your fridge for a few days as the bacterias will grow and make it more tart and thick. Recipe is roughly based off Jim Lahey’s dutch-oven-no-knead-bread recipe via New York Times.

step 1
In a stand-mixer with dough-hook, or in a large bowl add the Bread Flour (3 cups), Instant Dry Yeast (as needed), Salt (2 tsp) and Plain Unsweetened Yogurt With Active Cultures (1 2/3 cups).

step 2
Mix on medium-low speed for 2 minutes until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry and has difficulty coming together, add 1 tablespoon more plain yogurt.
step 3
If you'd like, continue to knead the dough on medium-low speed, or with your hands, for a few more minutes until springy. The dough should be very sticky, but able to retain shapes.

step 6
After fermentation, dust the counter with flour then transfer the dough on top. Use just enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking, fold the dough gently (without crushing all the air bubbles inside) over itself like folding a letter.
step 7
Turn 90 degrees and fold again. Then shape the dough into a ball-shape. Transfer to a piece of floured parchment paper.

step 8
Cover with a large bowl on top and let proof again for 1 to 2 hours. 45 minutes before the dough's ready, preheat the oven on 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) with a large dutch oven, or a heavy-bottom pot (both should come with lid) inside.
