1 tsp sea salt

Add flour a little at a time and mix until stiff and easy to handle.
Place dough on a lightly floured board and begin kneading. Knead
for 20 minutes or so, adding more flour a little at a time until
smooth, elastic, and not sticky. The exact quantity of flour will
vary slightly each time; this, as well as the proper consistency of the
kneaded dough will be learned with experience. When kneading is
complete, dough should be springy enough to almost resume shape
when pressed in lightly with finger. Shape into loaf, and place in a
lightly oiled standard size bread pan (about 9 x 5 x 3 inches). Cover
and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350° and bake for about 1 hour until crust is a deep
golden brown. Remove from pan at once and cool before slicing.
