Activate yeast :
In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water (370 ml) and active dry yeast (10 g). Stir gently and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast is completely dissolved and foamy.
Prepare the dough :
Add flour (500 g) and salt (1 teaspoon) to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough :
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
