   • Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together.

4. Incorporate the Yeast

   • Add the activated yeast mixture to the flour and salt mixture.
   • Mix until a homogeneous dough forms.

5. Knead the Dough

   • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it by hand until it no longer sticks to the bowl and becomes smooth.
   • Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.

Step 2: Shape and Proof the Dough

   • Line the preheated baking tray with floured parchment paper and place the shaped dough on top.
   • Let the dough rise for about 1.5 hours.

Step 3: Bake the Bread

1. Score the Dough

   • Just before baking, sprinkle the top of the dough with some flour.
   • Use a sharp knife to make three shallow cuts across the surface.

2. Bake the Bread

   • Carefully transfer the dough on parchment paper to the hot baking tray in the oven.
   • Pour a small amount of water onto the bottom of the oven to create steam, then close the oven door.
   • Bake for approximately 30 minutes.

3. Adjust the Temperature

   • After 30 minutes, open the oven and reduce the temperature to 200 °C (392 °F).
