Ingredients
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 and 1/2 cups (375 ml) tepid water
1/4 cup (60ml) lukewarm milk
1 tablespoon honey
3 and 1/2 cups (520g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (87g) finely ground semolina flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
optional: sesame seeds
Instructions
In the bowl of a tabletop mixer that ahs been fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the water, milk, yeast, and honeya nd mix together. Set aside for 7-8 minutes until the yeast is activated. It is ready when a puffy cloud forms over the water.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, semolina, and salt. Whisk them together.

Add the olive oil and the flour to the bowl with the yeast and knead on low speed for 10-12 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a bowl that has been greased with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in the warmest part of your house to rise until doubled in volume. About 2 hours.

It is best to let this dough rise overnight (12 hours) at room temperature so that it develops a sourdough flavor.

Punch down the dough and roll it into a ball. Place on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of the dough with water and cut some decorative slits. Loosely cover it with plastic. Set aside to rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450-475 °F, about 230 °C. Ovens vary so, if your oven bakes at a high heat, keep it at 450 °F.

Bake the bread on the center rack for 30 minutes.

Allow the bread to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before slicing it so that the steam settles. Slicing the bread early will give it an uncooked texture.

Serve!

Notes
Once the bread is baked it can be frozen for up to a month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap so that it does not absord any freezer odors. Toast it in a preheated 350 °F oven for 10 minutes before serving.
