Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the yeast into the warm water (about 110°F) and let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl combine the flour, semolina, and salt, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, divide into two balls, and flatten each into a 7-inch disk on a semolina-dusted surface.

  4. 4

    Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until nearly doubled, then prick the tops several times with a fork.

  5. 5

    Bake at 435°F for 18 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped; cool on a rack before slicing.
