Semolina Flour

Semolina flour is ideal for homemade pasta because its high gluten content helps the pasta hold its shape and texture during cooking. For a basic pasta dough, mix semolina with water and a little bit of salt. You can sprinkle semolina on a pizza stone or baking sheet before adding your pizza dough to prevent sticking and achieve a crispy bottom.

It can be used to thicken soups and stews. Its coarse texture adds a pleasant, slightly grainy mouthfeel to the dish. Mixing semolina with other flours can add a nice texture and flavor to breads and cakes. It can also be used to dust baking surfaces to prevent dough from sticking. As well as savory dishes, semolina is great for making desserts. Its texture and flavor work well in puddings, porridges, and sweet cakes.

Semolina flour is typically found in the baking aisle of the grocery store, near other specialty flours. Depending on the store's layout, it might also be located in the pasta aisle or the international foods section, especially if the store categorizes it as a product for making pasta or ethnic cuisines.
