Dissolve the LM in the water and add the Semolina. Mix everything for around 2-3 minutes and cover it. Let it rest for 30-60 minutes at room temperature.

Now add the yeast, mix it quickly and add then the salt. Now continue kneading for around 20 minutes until the window test works.

Cover a container with oil and add the dough into it. Let it rest for around 2 hours at RT and make all 30 minutes stretch and fold. The container needs to be airtight.

After this put the container with the dough into the fridge for around 12 hours.

Then take the container out of the fridge and let it raise at RT for 2 hours.
Put some flour onto your counter and put the dough onto it. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.

Produce some steam in the oven and launch the bread. Directly after launching reduce the temperature to 220 C. After 20 minutes release the steam and continue baking for additional 25 minutes until the bread has a nice golden color and is crispy.
