Combine warm water and dry yeast, allow to sit for 15 minutes so that yeast may 'bloom'.
Step 2

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes, then knead again, this time kneading in the fennel seeds.
Step 6
Place dough in a well-oiled bowl, and allow to double in size.
Step 7
Cut dough into halves, form into loaves and cut an 'x' in the top of loaves.
Step 8
Bake on baking sheets that have been dusted with cornmeal at 350°for 45 minutes.
Step 9
Half way through the baking process, apply glaze to the surface of the loaves.
Step 10
Once loaves are golden-brown, remove from the oven and cool.
