Method

Pour warm water into a large warmed mixing bowl; sprinkle with yeast; stir after 5 minutes and then stir in a quarter of the flour. Beat well; add salt and gradually beat in all but a quarter of the flour. Turn out dough on to a lightly floured board. Cover; leave to rest for 10 minutes. Knead by hand for about 20 minutes, or until dough is very elastic; knead in remaining flour.
