Stir in the salt and add the flour a half-cup at a time, until the dough becomes soft but not sticky. Knead the dough until elastic.Cut the dough into four even pieces. Roll each of them into four long, thin ropes. Twist together two of the ropes to form one loaf. Twist the other two ropes together to form a second loaf. Transfer both onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.You can now bake the loaf right away (if you?re in a hurry) or allow it to rise for an additional 15-30 minutes on top of your warm oven.Now for the SECRET: Fill a large bowl with 3-4 cups of ice.
