FAQ:

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of durum wheat flour? Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour for the durum wheat flour, but the texture may change slightly. Durum wheat gives the dough a more robust, slightly firmer texture.

Can I freeze the dough before baking? Yes, after the dough rises, you can freeze it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When ready to use, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and allow it to rise again before baking.

What if I don’t have olive oil? You can substitute olive oil with vegetable oil or another neutral oil, but olive oil will provide the best flavor and texture for this dough.
