5 Creative Ways to Use Dusting Semolina

1. The Perfect Pizza Peel Partner
Let’s start with the classic. Semolina’s slightly gritty texture acts like microscopic ball bearings, letting your pizza dough glide effortlessly into the oven.
How to do it:
● Stretch your pizza dough. Sprinkle TWF Dusting Semolina on your peel/board.
● Lay down the dough on top and slide into the oven.
● Result: blistered crust, smoky flavor, zero sticking.
Tip from our nerdy side: semolina doesn’t burn as fast as flour, so your pizza won’t taste bitter.

2. Crunch Upgrade for Breads
Want to level up your sourdough or rustic loaves? Roll your dough in semolina before baking.
Mini Recipe:
● Shape your sourdough or sandwich loaf.
● Roll the outside in TWF Dusting Semolina.
● Bake as usual.
What happens: the crust turns golden, crisp, and crackles when you cut through. A bread that sounds as good as it tastes.

3. A Golden Touch for Pasta
Semolina isn’t just for dusting -it’s the heart of beautifully textured pasta. Its coarse grain makes the dough strong and silky making it ideal for fettuccine, ravioli, or spaghetti.
Quick How-to:
● Mix semolina with water or eggs and knead.
● Roll, cut, and dust lightly with TWF Dusting Semolina.
● Boil until al dente.
Pro tip: Combine semolina with all-purpose flour for smooth, sturdy ravioli sheets.

4. The Secret to Crisp Cookies
Yes, cookies. Adding a spoonful of semolina into cookie dough creates a subtle sandy crunch that makes shortbread and butter cookies unforgettable. It’s a trick straight out of the TWF Lab Journal because we’re always experimenting with textures, not just flavors.
Try this:
● Make your usual shortbread or butter cookie dough.
● Replace 2 tbsp flour with TWF Dusting Semolina.
● Bake, cool, and listen to the gentle crunch.

5. A Base for Creative Plating
Here’s where semolina becomes art. Use toasted semolina as a base “bed” for plating roasted vegetables or Mediterranean spreads like hummus. It adds an earthy note and a visual pop — the kind of detail that turns home cooking into an aspirational experience.
Easy Plating Idea:
● Dry roast 2 tbsp TWF Dusting Semolina until golden.
● Spread as a “bed” on a plate.
● Serve grilled veggies, hummus, or kebabs on top.
