Pour in 2.5 cups of lukewarm water.

Knead the dough on a clean surface until elastic but not sticky.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a cloth.

Let the dough rise in a warm area until it doubles in size.

Punch down the dough and roll it out.

Place the rolled dough in a greased pan and cover it with plastic wrap or a cloth.

Let the dough rise until it is a few centimeters above the pan.

Bake the dough at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes or more, depending on your stove.

Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking and cover it with a cloth to prevent drying out.

Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
