In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix together using a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round or oval loaf.
Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again with the towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) about 20 minutes before baking, and place a small oven-safe dish of water at the bottom of the oven to create steam.
Once the loaf has completed its second rise, use a sharp knife to slash the top of the bread in your desired pattern to allow for even expansion during baking.
Place the bread into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
