Semolina Pizza Crust
Why I Love This Recipe
This is a great pizza dough! Today I made half artichoke heart/red onion and half pepperoni. The crust is soft, dense, and just a bit chewy. I really like it. It's very sturdy and handles toppings well. It's also quick to make and only requires a one hour rising time. The high-protein semolina flour really gives it a nice texture. It's a nice combination of flours.
Ingredients You'll Need
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
