Ingredients

• ✓ water
• durum wheat semolina flour
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Mix semolina flour and salt in a large bowl or on a marble work surface. Make a well in the center.
2. 2 Pour water into the well a little at a time, mixing it with flour. Add as much water as needed to make a sticky but compact dough.
3. 3 Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding top toward center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is elastic and smooth, but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
4. 4 Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using. If you are using cavatelli within a few hours or the following day, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator.
5. 5 Work with one portion of dough at a time, keeping remaining dough covered to keep it from drying out. Dust a work surface with semolina flour; roll out dough to make a rope, about 1/3 inch thick.
6. 6 Cut off little 1/3-inch-thick pieces. Press and gently drag a small piece of dough toward you with your index and middle finger. The two sides will curl inwards, leaving hollow spaces.
7. 7 Proceed the same way with rest of dough. Transfer cavatelli to a floured surface and sprinkle with more semolina flour. Do not overlap cavatelli or they will stick together. Let dry for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Instructions

1. 1 Place 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let stand until yeast is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cold water, yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and biga. Stir together using a sturdy wooden spoon.
3. 3 When the dough comes together, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead vigorously for about 20 minutes. Take a few 1 to 2 minute breaks if you like. The dough will be somewhat sticky until it is fully kneaded. Form dough into a ball. Rub the inside of a clean bowl with oil, and place the dough in it. Turn to coat the ball with oil. Cover with a towel and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size. This will take about 1 1/2 hours.
4. 4 Punch down the dough by folding the edges into the center and turning it over so the top is once again smooth. Cover the bowl again, and let the dough rise a second time until doubled, about 45 minutes.
5. 5 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten into an 8 inch square using the palms of your hands. Cover and let rise again.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking stone in the oven while it preheats. Dust a bakers peel with cornmeal, and gently slide it under the dough square. Use your fingers to make a dimpled surface by pressing them about 3/4 of the way down into the dough. Mist with water.
7. 7 Sprinkle a little cornmeal over the surface of the baking stone. Slide the square off of the peel onto the baking stone. Mist some water into the hot oven, and quickly shut the door.
