Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and sea salt. Gradually pour in warm water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 2-3 hours or overnight.
  2. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Shape gently into a round loaf. Let it rest for 30 minutes, covered.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  4. Place a shallow baking dish filled with water on the bottom rack of your oven to create steam for the crust.
  5. Move the dough onto a floured pizza peel. Score the top with a serrated knife. Let it rest for an additional 45 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with semolina flour, slide onto the pizza stone or Dutch oven, and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
