The dough will be soft, sticky and grainy. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 7
Transfer it to the work surface, sprinkled with a little durum wheat semolina.

Step 8
Give a first round of folds by turning the lateral ends towards the center. Use wet hands or a tarot card.

Step 9
Fold the top side towards the center too.

Step 10
Proceed with the lower one. Let it rest covered for 20 minutes, then repeat the operation 2 more times.

Step 11
Form a ball and transfer the pizza dough into a lightly greased bowl.
