Step 1 Dissolve yeast in 2 teaspoons warm water and let stand 5 minutes.
Step 2 Combine flour, salt, remaining water and yeast in large mixing bowl. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead 3 minutes. Return to bowl, cover with damp towel, store in plastic bag and allow to stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and smells quite yeasty, 4 to 5 hours.
