In a large bowl mix the yeast with the water and sugar.
Sift the flours and salt, add half to the yeast mixture and cover. Leave until double in size.

Divide the dough into 3 pieces and shape into an oblong. Fold the 2 ends into the middle and seal, repeat this process 3 or 4 more times.

Place onto a greased baking tray and leave until double in size, then slash the tops. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 7
