Recipe with Semolina

Re: Recipe with Semolina

Just found this reference to the use of coarse semolina in a baking book:

"Coarser semolina granules can be substituted for the finer flour, but a much longer autolyse of 30–45 minutes would be advisable".

So, it looks like it will do the job!

Hmmmm....
I'd still like to try with the fine stuff!

Re: Recipe with Semolina

Yes, the fine ones the best for this - but even that needs a good autolyse of 20 mins to get it hydrated.

Good luck - keen to see pics and get your comments.

I used this recipe last time and it made the best bases I have done so far. I am trying it again tonight with the Woolies tip00 flour rather than the Coles Colavita one. Many thanks Rossco.

Re: Recipe with Semolina

I always put semolina in my dough, but not as much as your recipe. I use about 7% it gives the crust more crunchiness.
