Semolina Bread
The family were coming to supper and as a change from my usual sourdough loaf to go with the hearty soup I decided to make Semolina Bread. Pane di Semola on another page of my notebook, guess I really liked the sound of this recipe to copy it twice. After the dough has doubled the instructions say to punch it down (!) and "chafe" for 5 minutes. I searched high and low and could not find a single reference to chafing, so I folded the dough over a couple of times and let it rest before dividing. I am sure some kind TFL member will be able to tell me how to chafe? By the way, the bread got rave reviews for the lovely soft crust and yellow crumb, but my grandgirls pointed out the space for the lazy baker! A.
