Step 3
On a work surface, pour sifted premium wheat flour. Place the bread dough onto the flour. Knead it by hand, folding the sides of the dough inward so that it absorbs enough flour.

When the dough becomes firm enough and no longer sticks to your hands, place it into a baking dish greased with vegetable oil. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour and a half.

Step 5
When the dough has risen, place it in the preheated oven at 220 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes, putting a bowl of water on the bottom of the oven. Then remove the bowl and reduce the temperature to 200 degrees. Bake for another 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the bread inside to cool down gradually.
