Bring the water to the boil, add the bread spices and remove from the plate - let cool and steep.
Knead a soft bread dough from all the ingredients (add a few spoons of water if necessary) - cover the dough, keep it warm and let it rise (approx. 1.5 hours).
Then knead again, shape into a loaf of bread or put in a loaf pan, cut into the top, brush with water and bake in a preheated oven at 230 ° for about 15 minutes, then turn back to 200 ° and bake for about 25 minutes.
