Video Description

🍞 1️⃣ Golden Semolina Bread with Sourdough This bread is made with semolina flour and sourdough — a combination that gives it a golden color, soft crumb, and deep rustic flavor. Semolina is rich in protein and minerals, and makes your bread hearty, aromatic, and full of character. 💛 📖 Ingredients: 100 g (½ cup) active sourdough starter 380 ml (1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp) water 250 g (2 cups) bread flour 250 g (2 cups) semolina flour 10 g (1 ½ tsp) salt 🕒 Method: Mix the starter with water until fully dissolved. Add the flours and salt, then knead well — semolina takes longer to build gluten, so work it until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered, until doubled in size. Shape, place in a proofing basket, and refrigerate overnight (10–14 hours). Bake in a preheated Dutch oven at 220°C / 430°F — 30 minutes covered, 15 minutes uncovered, until golden. ✨ Result: a beautifully golden loaf with a soft, moist crumb and that signature sourdough aroma. 🍞 2️⃣ Golden Semolina Bread with Yeast This quick version of semolina bread uses commercial yeast instead of sourdough — perfect for when you want homemade bread without waiting hours for fermentation. It’s golden, soft, and slightly nutty — a true comfort bread. 💛 📖 Ingredients: 7 g (2 tsp) dry yeast or 20 g (0.7 oz) fresh yeast 350 ml (1 ½ cups) warm water 300 g (2 ½ cups) bread flour 250 g (2 cups) semolina flour 10 g (1 ½ tsp) salt 🕒 Method: Dissolve the yeast in warm water (not hot — around 38°C / 100°F). Add both flours and salt, then mix gently — you can use a spatula; no need for intense kneading. Cover and let rise for 1 hour at room temperature. Shape the loaf, cover again, and let rest for 40 minutes. Bake at 220°C / 430°F in a preheated Dutch oven — 30 minutes covered, 15 minutes uncovered. ✨ Result: a soft, golden loaf with a light crust and a deliciously rich aroma. #sourdoughbread #semolinabread #homemadebread #naturalleaven #bakinglove#yeastbread #semolinabread #homemadebread #breadrecipe #bakingathome #rusticbread #sourdough #sourdoughbread #yeastbread #semolinabread #homemadebread #breadrecipe #bakingathome #rusticbread
