Combine all ingredients except water in a mixing bowl.
Slowly add water and mix either with your hands or with a flat edge beater until all the flour has been incorporated and you have a pliable dough that is a tiny bit sticky.
Knead for 6 minutes, then put back in the bowl to rise for 2 hours.
Shape dough into a ball and flatten slightly. Cut a square shape on top of the loaf. Let rise for one hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F. For a crispier crust, put a pan of boiling water in the bottom rack.
Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
