Pizza dough with semola

60 minutes
Pizza dough with semolina is a true embodiment of Italian traditions. Semolina, rich in flavor and texture, gives the dough lightness and a crispy crust, making the pizza truly authentic. This recipe was born in sunny Italy, where pizza masters have perfected the art of dough-making for centuries. Its airiness is achieved through proper fermentation, and its golden hue comes from a blend of two types of flour. When baked, it acquires a tender elasticity inside and an appetizing crispy surface. Perfect for creating pizzas with any toppings – from classic margherita to unusual gastronomic experiments. Regardless of your choice, semolina dough promises an unforgettable taste and aroma that will transport you to the cozy streets of Naples.
