Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Bowl

Add the lukewarm water and Knead about 8 minutes, until a soft dough forms.
⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
💡For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.

Cover and Let rise 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough doubles in size.

💡Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot. The dough is ready when it has doubled, and a gentle finger press leaves a dent that fills back slowly; if it springs right back, wait longer.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

Put the pot in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 180°C (355°F) and bake 20 more minutes.
