To prepare crust, combine 5 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon oil, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand 2 minutes. Weigh or lightly spoon 5 ounces bread flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sprinkle bread flour over yeast mixture. Add semolina flour, rosemary, and salt. Stir until just combined. Turn dough onto counter; knead 1 minute.

Slide dough onto the preheated pizza stone, using a spatula as a guide. Reduce oven temperature to 475u00b0; bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
