Dissolve the yeast in cold water. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the salt, and knead the dough in a stand mixer until it is smooth and elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes. Add the salt and knead for another 3 minutes. Double the time if you’re kneading by hand.

Divide the dough into three equal parts. Then divide and roll each of these three pieces into three “sausages” of equal thickness and braid them together into a single braid. Place the braids on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them, and let them rise for about 60–90 minutes or until they double in size. Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
