Hard or soft - which semolina for what?
In our recipe we leave it up to you which semolina is the right one for you.
For better classification, here is a little semolina guide for you:
Basically: semolina are small pieces of grain.
durum wheat semolina:
Derived from the ancient grain durum wheat, also known as durum wheat.
Main ingredient of pasta, couscous, bulgur or pizza dough.
Contains a lot of gluten, which makes the dough more elastic and firm.
Stays al dente while cooking.
soft wheat semolina:
Comes from wheat and is therefore the raw material for typical wheat flour (the main ingredient in rolls, bread and sweet baked goods).
Use in semolina porridge, baby food or soups.
Softens during cooking and provides a creaminess.
By the way:
Semolina can also be ground from corn, rye, barley, millet, buckwheat or spelt.
For example, polenta is made from cornmeal
If you want to enjoy a semolina casserole with bite and flavor, use durum wheat semolina.
Soft wheat semolina is better for a softer casserole that you can spoon away.
