Caputo's Semolina is a hard durum wheat, milled using a slow grinding technique which avoids excessive heat that might damage the proteins and starches in the wheat.
This Semolina is double milled ("rimacinata"). Through regrinding, it creates a finer flour that yields a dough which is easier to knead. Semolina is typically a courser flour, but this is finer than typical semolina found in the US.
This Semolina is a wonderful choice for homemade pasta, traditional southern Italian breads (such as 'Pane di Altamura'), and rustic desserts. It's also an exceptional choice for dusting.

Makes Launching a Pizza a Snap!
Semola flour - Semolina in English - is known as an aid to keep the raw dough from sticking to the peel. Over the last year I continued to make the dough, by hand, at a higher hydration level - now at 64%. It can get somewhat sticky and the Caputo Semola is used to ‘dust’ the peel which makes launching a breeze. I recommend giving it a try.
