The ingredients

• 600gr of durum wheat flour
• 12gr of brewer's yeast
• 400gr of water
• 15gr of salt

Melt the brewer's yeast into warm water, then add some flour. Mix on a large board for half and hour, and let it stay for 30 minutes. Dispose the flour as a fountain, put on the center the yeast dough and slowly pour some water. Then keep blending everything together. Let it stay for 10 minutes. Gradually add the salt and mix for 15 to 20 minutes. Cover the dough with a wet towel and let is stay for 30 minutes. Cut the dough if it is too large, but be careful not to cut it into  small pieces. Choose your desired shape and dispose the dough on a oven-paper. Gently wipe some flour on the dough. Let it stay in the oven for about 4 hours. Once the process is completed, incise the surface with a cross and , finally, bake at 220° for 40 minutes.
