Method
1 Sift flour and salt into a bowl, stir in sugar and yeast. Make a well in the centre, stir in 325ml of tepid water and make the dough.

2 Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 to 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3 Put in a large, clean, oiled bowl. Cover with oiled clingfilm and leave in a warm place until it has doubled in size.

4 Turn out onto a work surface and knead for 1 minute. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave it to rest for 5 minutes, then shape the dough.

5 Cover and leave to prove until it has nearly doubled in size; it's now ready to glaze and bake.
