In a large bowl, mix the warm water with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes.

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Once risen, punch the dough down to release air. Shape it into a round loaf.

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Once the dough has risen again, place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
