Dissolve yeast in 500 ml of ice-cold water. Mix 600 g flour and salt and add to the yeast water. Add olive oil and mix everything quickly with a wooden spoon to a soft dough. Then stir another 100 g flour into the dough. Put the dough into a bowl at least twice as big, seal it airtight and leave it in the fridge overnight
The next day, let the dough stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Wash the thyme and rosemary, shake dry and pluck into pieces
Place the well-risen soft dough on a well floured work surface and cut in half (do not knead the dough, so that the air remains in the dough!) Form 2 narrow loaves of bread about 30 cm long with plenty of flour. Place them on a baking tray (32 x 39 cm) lined with baking paper. Spread the herbs on the breads and press lightly. Leave to rise for another 10-15 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven, 2nd shelf from below (electric oven: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 40 minutes. Let cool down on a grill
waiting time approx. 12 3/4 hours
