Step 1

In a large bowl, stir salt into flour.  Set aside.

Step 2

Measure water and add yeast.  Stir slightly and let sit to hydrate yeast, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add yeast and water to flour and stir until just combined. Turn out onto a clean work surface. Knead about 10 minutes until dough no longer sticks to your hand and when stretched, you can see light through the dough without it breaking.

Step 4

Lightly grease a bowl and place dough inside. Cover.  Let rest for 60-90 minutes or until double in size. It is ready when you press into the dough and it leaves a slight indentation without bouncing back.
