Directions

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl, add the water and mix using a wooden spoon until the ingredients make a wet, sticky dough (about 3 seconds). Make sure it is really sticky to the touch, I had to add 1-2 tablespoons of extra water so add more if need be. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and place somewhere out of direct sunlight (I used by hall cupboard), until the surface is dotted with bubbles and the dough has doubled in size. This takes approximately 12 hours but you can leave foe longer if desired.
2. Once step one is complete, dust table or bench with a generous amount of flour. Use a spatular to scrape the dough onto the workspace in one piece. The dough will cling in long, thin strands, and it will be loose and sticky, do not add more flour. Using floured hands, light the edges of the dough and fold into the centre to make the dough round.
3. Dust a tea towel with flour, gently lift the dough from the workspace onto the tea towel, seam side down. If the dough is sticky, dust with more flour. Fold the tea towel loosely over the dough to cover it and place in a warm, draft free spot for 1-2 hours. When the dough is ready it will have doubled in size. Gently poke the dough, it should hold the impression. If it doesn't leave for another 15 minutes.
