My attempt at a 'no-knead' bread left me with a pancake

I followed the recipe exactly (well, I thought I did) and let it rise overnight, but it just spread out into a dense, flat disk in my Dutch oven. I think my kitchen in Phoenix is too warm for the long rise it called for. Anyone have tips for adjusting proofing times in a hot, dry climate?

Bro, Phoenix heat will absolutely murder your dough. That overnight rise is for normal temps, not an oven. You gotta cut that proof time way down, maybe just a few hours. Try putting it in the coolest spot you have, like a closet or something. If it's still too warm, the fridge is your friend for a slow rise.

@jake191 knows his stuff. A buddy in Tucson baked a brick following normal recipes, swear to god.

The fridge is for slowing it down, not speeding it up.
