The Prior's Organic Semolina from Foster's Mill is wheat semolina, a coarse meal which is one of the extractions from the white flour making process. In this process the meal (wholemeal) flour is sifted to release the white starch of the grain (white flour), semolina and bran. Semolina is used to lubricate peals and trays, to stop the dough sticking. You can also add it to flours to add flavour and texture to your dough. NOTE this is not Durum Wheat Semolina, you cannot make milk puddings with it.

In Eastern Europe, this extraction of flour is added to bread dough as a paste (moistened with water) to increase the moisture retention of the bread (keep it softer for longer). The Germans call it "Schrott". |
