Instructions

In a mixing bowl add water, sugar, salt, yeast and olive oil. Mix thoroughly for a minute, then let mixture stand for 5 minutes.

Add two cups (500 ml) Semolina flour, 4 1/2 cups (1125 ml) of unbleached flour and begin mixing a low speed for about 1 - 2 minutes. To obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture, add unbleached flour if necessary (dough should not stick to the bowl). Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured work surface.)

Divide the dough into 8 oz balls (aprox. 14 balls for this recipe) and roll each piece into a smoth ball, kneading it so all air pockets are removed. Once complete place the balls on a tray and place into your refrigerator. Using a pastry brush, coat the dough balls with vegetable oil and cover with a clean cloth. Place tray into the refrigerator and allow to rise for 12 to 24 hours.

That was easy!
