Semolina Bread Roll

Hi to everyone,

this is my first post. I would like to share my recipe for semolina bread roll. I use the same recipe to bake larger loafs and fougasse as well.

In the restaurant I serve with this roll's pates and terrines or just simply serve as part of a bread basket.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do.

Happy baking! Zoltan

I love it when an artist and craftsman/women converge and create a beautiful piece of edible artwork. Very nice looking roll Zoltan Szabo. Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site, I look forward to seeing what else you make! These rolls are works of art. 

Question, when you list fine semolina, do you mean durum flour or the more course semolina flour?  Just wondering because I would like to try and copy your rolls!

Thanks for posting the recipe!

Hy inlovewbread,

thanks for the nice comments! This is would be a fine course semolina and not durum flour. Our supplier does two type of semolina one of them a very fine ground while the other one just a bit smaller then the couscous would be.

I really hope this helps. You can change the semolina into T55 just use less water(if i remember correctly abt 200ml).

If you try this out please let me know what you think from it.

Happy baking

Wow - these look super-easy and fun to make & eat.  My kids would go crazy over individual "hedgehogs"!

I've been playing with semolina breads lately, with mixed results.  These have inspired me to keep going... :-)
