Traditional Sicililano sourdough 100% semolina bread.

My shaping could have been tighter, for a more vertical oven spring.

Many thanks to Mr Leo Maurizio at the Perfect loaf for another great formula. Formula link below.

Will, after a long pause in my durum baking, you inspired me to bake the same recipe. Mine were 80% durum as a I used Manitoba flour in my stiff starter.

I ran out of semola, but I found remilled couscous made a good substitute. I had to remill in 2 passes, otherwise the Mockmill stalled.

Because the semola was slightly coarse, I autolysed for 30 mins and then fermentolysed for another 10.

Great substitution! Great looking breads!

 By coincidence, I have two 100% Semolina loaves in the oven!
