1

Prepare the biga by mixing 1 kg of semola rimacinata with 550 g of water and 6-10 g of lievito.

2

Let the biga rest in the refrigerator for 15 hours.

3

Combine all of the biga with 200-250 g of water, 10 g of malto, and 20 g of sale to form the dough.

4

Knead the dough and let it rest in a container until it has nearly doubled in size.

5

Shape the dough into a loaf without tightening it too much to preserve the air developed during fermentation.

6

Let it rise, score the top, and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for about one hour.
