- Pour 200 ml of lukewarm water into a bowl and mix with brewers’ yeast and sugar. Stir well and set aside to ferment for a few minutes.
- Sift the flour into a large bowl, together with the salt, and form a cavity in the middle.
- Pour the water and the yeast into the cavity in the flour and mix, slowly adding the rest of the water and continuing to mix with a blender until all the ingredients are perfectly blended.
- Pour the mixture onto a floured surface and knead until you have a smooth dough. Form a ball with the dough and put it in a lightly oiled bowl.
- Let the dough rest for one hour until it doubles in size.
- Put the well-leavened dough onto a floured work surface and separate into pieces weighing 100 grams each.
- Use the dough to form ball shapes.
- Transfer the rolls onto a pan lined with greaseproof paper, flatten them slightly and join them two at a time.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes in a warm, dry place.
- When they have almost doubled in size, make the classic line in the middle of the bread by denting the bread vertically with a stick.
- Cover the bread again and turn on the oven to 220°C static.
- Place a bowl filled with water into the oven for moisture to create a crispy golden crust on top of the bread.
- When the oven reaches the correct temperature, bake the bread for 25-30 minutes.
