In a large bowl, add 650 milliliters of tepid water.

Add 1 sachet of dried yeast and mix with a fork.

Optionally add a pinch of sugar or honey to help wake the yeast.

Let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes until bubbles form.

Add 1 kilogram of strong flour, holding some back, and mix with a fork.

Add a pinch of salt and then use hands to knead the dough.

Dust hands with flour to prevent sticking and continue kneading.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl covered with a damp cloth.

Let the dough rise for about 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to knock out air and divide it in half.

Shape one half into a rustic loaf and let it prove for another 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Bake the loaf in the oven for about 35 minutes.
