    Things To Do With... Leftover Semolina

    26/08/2012 by thebakingexplorer Leave a Comment

    Semolina GnocchiI recently made some foccacia bread and the recipe called for semolina. So I bought a big box of it. Now I have leftover semolina in my cupboard! I hate wasting food so I always try and find ways to use up ingredients whenever I can.

    What is Semolina?

    As you can see from the picture above it is most commonly used as a type of pudding (similar to rice pudding). If you add milk to semolina and heat it up you get the pudding, which is well known from school dinner days of the past here in the UK. Semolina is actually a type of flour. It's not used often in modern British cuisine, but is very popular in India and other parts of Asia for various desserts. The Italians use semolina when making gnocchi, pasta and some breads. In general it can be used a a substitute for part of the flour in most recipes for cakes and biscuits to change the texture of the final product.
