- 300 g (about 1 ½ cups/ 10.6 oz) semolina flour
- 180 ml (3/4 cup/ about 6 fl.oz) water lukewarm
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ teaspoons dry yeast (7 g (0.25 oz)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
In an empty bowl or jar combine lukewarm water, sugar and yeast. Mix well and let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
In the meantime add salt and olive oil to the bowl with semolina flour. Then add the yeast – sugar mixture and knead the dough like this.By hands: combine all the ingredients together with the help of the fork or similar until the flour is well incorporated. Transfer the dough on a lightly dusted working surface and knead for about 6 minutes.Hand mixer or stand mixer with dough hooks: Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Then knead the dough for about 5 minutes (I have kneaded the dough on medium speed (speed 2, on Bosch kitchen machine)). Shape the dough to a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Turn it over so that it's completely coated. Cover with cling film and then with a damp kitchen towel. Let rise for about 60 minutes at room temperature or until it has doubled in size.Hint: If your kitchen is cold, just place the bowl in a cold oven and let it rise. Meanwhile grease and line a 30 cm (11.8 inch) loaf tin with parchment paper
After the first rise punch down your dough to release the air. Then divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Fold each portion (while flattening it) into a square. It doesn't have to be perfect. Place the dough portions in the prepared loaf pan with the folded side down. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes at room temperature.
About 10 minutes before the end of the second rise preheat the oven to 180°C (356 °F). Then bake the bread for about 40 minutes until golden brown After baking let the bread cool down for a few minutes and enjoy..
