Caputo Semola Durum Wheat Semolina

$34.99
Description

Semola does two jobs, and both are worth knowing.

First, dusting. Scatter it on the bench and under the dough ball before you launch. The coarser grains roll instead of grabbing, so the pizza leaves the peel clean, and they hold their colour longer than fine flour on a hot stone.

Second, blending. Swap about 10% of your total flour weight for semolina. The base browns deeper, the bite gets crisper, and the wheat flavour steps forward. Some pizzaioli swear by that ratio. Others stay classic. You will notice the difference on the first slice.

It also brings structure to extruded pasta and rustic loaves, where durum wheat gives a firmer bite than soft wheat alone. A little goes a long way, so a bag lasts well past what you expect.

Specifications
  • Type: durum wheat semolina

How to work with it

Under the dough

  • Scatter a thin layer on the peel and the bench before you shape
  • Shake off the excess before you launch, semolina left on the floor eventually burns
  • A well dusted dough ball slides on its own, with no flick of the wrist

In the dough

  • Swap about 10% of the flour weight for semolina
  • Add a little water, semolina takes on more than Tipo 00
  • Go to 20% for a properly rustic crust, no further

It also gives extruded pasta the hold through the boil that Tipo 00 alone will not.

FAQ

Can I make pizza dough with semolina alone?

Not recommended. Durum gluten is shorter and less elastic, so the dough tears as you open it. Stay near 10% semolina to 90% Tipo 00.

Semolina or flour on the peel?

Semolina. The larger grains roll the dough forward instead of gripping it, and they darken more slowly against a hot stone.

Is this the same as couscous semolina?

No. Caputo grinds this one finer, so it blends into a dough without leaving a sandy texture behind.
