Pour in the cool water and gently mix together until a shaggy dough has been created, then bring together into a ball in the bowl.

Prepare a sheet tray upside-down with baking paper. Turn the dough out onto a board and cut into two pieces. Gently shape into 2 long loaves about 9x3 inches each, and place onto the baking paper. Allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes.
When ready to bake, slide the loaves onto the baking stone. Place a shallow metal or cast iron baking pan in the over and quickly pour 3 cups of water into it to provide steam. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The bread should be at 190 F when ready.
