I have ordered Bob's Semolina flour (4 packs) twice now and it's wonderful for authentic homemade pasta. I have not bought other brands of semolina (I trust Bob's products) so I can't compare texture or taste to other brands. Before buying this semolina, I made pasta with regular unbleached AP flour which was good but not great. Adding the semolina does make a difference in pasta and pizza adding wonderful flavor and texture. I use 1 cup organic unbleached AP flour, 1 cup Bob's semolina, 1 tsp. kosher salt, 3 eggs, 1 T. organic extra virgin olive oil and mix in my kitchenaid with dough hook-sometimes I need to add a bit of water (tablespoon at a time) and sometimes not. (combine the flours and salt, make a well in the center add the eggs & olive oil, mix on low using a spatula to gradually push the flour from the sides of the bowl to the center - much like if doing pasta by hand on a countertop. Once the dough comes together I let the kitchenaid do the work of kneading for 8-10 minutes. Don't skimp on the kneading time, I've found it really needs at least 8 minutes. Remove dough, knead a bit by hand if needed to form a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Kitchenaid pasta roller makes the rest a snap. The dough may feel a bit "grainy" but once rolled and cooked the pasta is velvety and delicious. Cooking the pasta will take 3 minutes or less. This recipe yields a lot of linguine noodles, (maybe over a lb.-rolled thru setting 6) plenty for a family of 4. I have been making a lot more pasta now since buying Bob's semolina so I will probably add this to my subscribed products. Great price for a pack of 4.
