Ingredients:• 800g strong white bread flour
• 200g fine semolina flour
• 1 level tablespoon fine sea salt
• 2 x 7g sachets of dried yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 650ml lukewarm water
Method:
Sieve the flour and semolina into a bowl and add the salt. Make a well in the middle.
In another container, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water and leave it to rest for a few minutes.
Pour the mixture into the well. With a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead on a worksurface until you have a smooth, springy dough.
Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size. Once ready it is important to knock back the dough inorder to push the air out. You can use the dough immediately or let it rest in the fridge. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before using.
You can top the dough with your favorite ingredients and bake in the oven until golden brown.
Happy Cooking :)
