No Knead Bread (Yogurmadan Ekmek)

3 cups flour
1 ½ cup and 2 tbsp water
¼ tsp instant yeast
1 ½ -2 tsp salt

In a large bowl, place the flour, water, instant yeast, salt and combine them with a wooden spoon/spatula (see the picture). Wrap it up with a plastic cover (see the picture). Leave the dough for all night (12-20 hours) in a warm place (65-70 F).
In the morning (see the picture) spread some flour on the counter, wet your hands and place the bread dough on the counter. Wetting your hands prevents the dough to stick to your hands. Grab the dough and fold over all ends towards the middle (see the picture). Gently move the dough onto a floured towel or floured plastic wrap. Let it nap for 2 hours to be puff up and double in size.
Use a 5 qt or larger and at least 4“ tall cast iron, Pyrex, stainless steel, ceramic or enamel pot with a lid. Make sure that it does not have plastic handles or other plastic parts and it could resist to high heat.
Half an hour before the nap ends, place the covered pot into the oven. Turn the heat to 450 F and preheat for 30 minutes. To prevent the dough to stick to the pot, place a parchment paper in the pot first. Place the dough into the pot, cover and then put back into the oven (see the picture). Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on. Then take the lid off and bake additional 15-20 minutes until it turns to golden brown.
Take the pot out and cool. You can hear the crust crackling.
ENJOY

P.S: If you cannot consume the whole no knead bread, you can freeze and store it in the freezer. Then reheat in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes. It will be as warm and crispy as before.

P.S2: Do not use metal container when kneading or resting the dough. Metal spoils the texture of dough.

½ cup chick peas in a can
1 tsp salt

Wash the rice several times with warm water and drain. Cover the rice with warm water and leave it for 15-20 minutes and drain. If you do not have time for this, just wash the rice and then drain. Place the butter in a saucepan or pot and add the orzo. Over low-heat, fry until their color starts changing to golden brown. Do not over fry, take the pot from the stove as soon as you see the golden brown color and add the rice. Then, again place the pot on the stove and stir for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Finally, add the hot chicken stock (If you leave the rice in water before cooking, use 1 ½ cup hot water otherwise use 2 cups). Add the salt and close the lid and cook over low heat, until the rice absorbs all the water. Meanwhile you can stir once or twice. Finally add the chick peas and stir. Let the pilaf stand for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
