    In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt and yeast. Add the water, stir into the flour with a wooden spoon, and knead with your hands to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough and leave it to rise at room temperature for about 18 hours.

    Dust the work surface generously with flour. Next, dust the bread dough with a little flour and knead it twice. Fold in twice. Gently turn the dough to stretch it and shape it into a curl. Close the ends together. Drizzle the bread curl with a little lukewarm water.
