½ tsp dry yeast;
1 ½ tsp salt;
520 g (17.5 fl.oz) warm water.

Mix flour, yeast and salt together. Add warm water and knead the dough until it comes together.
Cover the dough with plastic and set aside for 45 minutes.
Use some olive or vegetable oil to grease your hands. Sprinkle working surface with some flour and transfer soft dough onto it.

Separate the dough into 4 pieces on a floured surface. Roll each portion into baguette shape and transfer on a tea towel. Cover with plastic loosely and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Carefully transfer on a parchment covered baking sheet, make 3-4 slits on the surface using a sharp knife or blade, then bake at 200C/400F for 15 minutes.
