  • Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the yeast liquid. Using a wooden spoon, work the ingredients together by pulling the flour into the liquid until it comes together. 
  • Use your hand to transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a round loaf. Leave to rise under a clean tea towel for about  2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and knead for a couple of minutes. Divide the dough into four balls. Press each dough ball out flat and using a floured rolling pin, shape into a 10 inch diameter circle. Using your knuckles, press just inside the edge to raise them slightly. Leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
