- Ideal for making pasta, pizza bread, gnocchi, short crust pastry, short bread and semolina pudding.
- Hygienically milled and pasteurised.
Cooking with Semolina
Coarse semolina can be used instead of flour in some recipes. It's texture suits pizza bread and crumbly short crust pastry recipes. Pasta is an ideal candidate for semolina. Coarse semolina, with its hard texture, makes a rougher pasta surface. This is a good thing as the sauce is able to cling to the pasta better than it would on a smooth surface.
Semolina is also used to make crumbly pastries, biscuits and the traditional British pudding simply named "Semolina". This pudding is made by heating the semolina in warm milk and sweetening to make a milky sweet treat.
