Home > Bread Recipes > Breads made with Semolina
Semolina flour is a finely ground flour made from Durum wheat, a high-protein wheat flour used in pastas. When added to breads, this creamy-colored flour provides a sweet, almost winey aroma.
Semolina flour has more flavor and protein than white flour, but it can be used interchangeably with other wheat flours.
Bread doughs that incorporate semolina are a pleasure to work with. Semolina has a gritty feel when it’s dry, but when it’s mixed into dough, it becomes smooth and silky. It’s almost like working with butter, but not so slippery.
