It has been my personal mission to omit refined white flour from as many recipes of mine as I can and substitute with better Carb sources.

This is my favorite bread recipe so far since it requires just basic ingredients. I have been baking my own bread for over 20 years now and this recipe is a favorite of mine. I have tested and tried this recipe multiple times and is a fail proof recipe for sure.

This recipe calls for fine Semolina which is also known as Durum flour. This recipe uses just five basic ingredients for this perfect white sandwich bread loaf.

In southern India, Chiroti Rava is a better known term for fine Semolina. The hindi name for Semolina is Suji or Rava. If fine Suji or Rava is not available near you, you can finely grind the coarse variety which is more easily available everywhere.

Semolina Vs. Refined Flour

Even though Semolina is made of flour, it is considered better than refined white flour since Semolina is a high protein flour made from coarsely ground durum wheat. It is considered a high-protein flour (21 grams of protein per cup vs 16 grams of protein per cup for regular flour, per the USDA) and it also packs higher concentrations of minerals like iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus.

Semolina benefits weight management, heart health and your digestive system.

Due to the high concentration of carotenoids in the wheat, Semolina is slightly yellow in color.
