My semolina flour came from Buon Italia in Chelsea Market, a wonderful purveyor of everything Italian, including flour. It's nice using flour from the Italian source where this recipe originates! Tomorrow I'm going to put a slice of mortadella on a slice of this bread. Nutella would be nice too…

    I’m not 100% sure, but this may qualify as your most beautiful loaf yet. At least most stunning photos.

    Beautiful semolina bread!
    Not a grain I get the chance to use often (difficult to find durum flour here). Good job!

    Thanks Teresa and FP,
    flour is hard to get whatever kind, even in NY, and it’s a pleasure we have these boutique stores who sell flour from Italy or wherever?
    Happy baking!
