Add the remaining ingredients to a bowl make a well add the rest of the water and the yeast mix. Mix with a knife to bring together then finish by hand until the dough comes cleanly together.

Form into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl and leave somewhere warm to rise to double size. 40 minutes to an hour normally does it.
Preheat the oven to 230C and place a tray of hot water in the bottom to help produce steam.
Empty onto a board. Knock back and form back into a ball and put back into the bowl. When it's doubled in size put into a tin or shape.
Slash the top and put in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes. The bottom should sound hollow when tapped.
