King Arthur Semolina Flour - Coarse Ground Durum for Pasta, Pizza & Bread (3 lb)

Premium King Arthur Semolina Flour

Designed for cooks who want authentic texture and color, this coarse-ground semolina is milled from 100% USA-grown durum wheat. The flour yields a pale yellow shade and a nutty-sweet aroma when heated, making it a standout choice for a range of baked goods and pasta preparations.

Housed in a 3 lb resealable bag, the flour stays fresh between bakes and simplifies storage in your pantry. The packaging protects from moisture and helps you measure precisely, so you can experiment with ratios without waste.

In bread applications, the high protein content contributes to dough with strength and elasticity, helping it hold its shape during rising and baking. For pasta and pizza, you’ll notice dough that feels hearty yet supple, with a satisfying bite after cooking.

Why bakers reach for semolina

The distinct nutty flavor and pale yellow color add depth and visual appeal to homemade dishes. Sanded with care, the flour can be incorporated into a variety of doughs—substitute some or all of your all-purpose flour to modify texture and aroma.
