Semolina Bread Machine Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups semolina flour (durum wheat based for a nutty flavor and golden crust)
• 1 cup bread flour (adds structure and elasticity)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (balances flavors and aids in browning)
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt (enhances taste)
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (for proper rise and airy texture)
• 1 ⅓ cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C, activates yeast optimally)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (provides moisture and tenderness)
• 1 tablespoon honey (natural sweetness boosting flavor complexity)
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano for aromatic touch)
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (adds crunch and a nutty accent on crust)
• ½ cup chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes (for a savory twist)
