In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water.
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet or in a Dutch oven.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
