Durum Wheat Semolina Wheat Bread


Semolina Flour 375 grams
GM AP Flour 125 grams
Sugar 45 grams
Salt 10 grams
IDY 5 grams
Water 300 grams
Butter 56.5 grams
Mix in mixer and knead for 10 minutes- until smooth and elastic.
Counter rise 4 hours ± Paunch the dough down, and form into loaf. Place in greased (I used spray with flour kind) bread loaf pan. Cover with clean tea towel, let rise 1-1.5 hours.
Bake 20 minutes at 375°f, then lightly cover with foil and further bake for 20 minutes.
Tender crumb with a ever so lightly crisp crust. The color is reminiscent of a eggy yellow challah.

Thanks Lee, Mama, Karen, mhend, and UnConundrum. This means a lot coming from bakers like yourselves. The bread had a nice flavor and a soft texture. I think it would make a good sandwich like egg salad, and might make a better French toast. I can see this loaf won't be around long, It is going quick. Will be making some more at the end of the week along with more sour dough bread.

Great job on the bread. The crumb and crust both look perfect. Nice balance of ingredients.
