1.
Dissolve the yeast in 250 ml lukewarm water. Mix the flour with the salt and bran, place in a bowl, create a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and oil, and knead into a smooth dough by hand or with an electric hand mixer’s dough hook. Knead vigorously on floured work surface for about 10 minutes, then return to the bowl. If the dough feels too wet, add more flour; if it feels dry, add a little more lukewarm water. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
