Rustic Semolina Bread Loaf
Across Southern Italy, semolina bread reflects simplicity — durum wheat, patience, and technique. This fold-method loaf develops structure gradually rather than through intensive kneading, creating bread with gentle chew, golden color, and rustic character.
Finished with a light mist of water and sesame seeds before baking, it delivers the unmistakable aroma and texture of a traditional Southern Italian bakery loaf fresh from the oven.
Rustic Italian Bread Recipe (No Knead, Easy Artisan Loaf)
A crisp golden crust, a soft chewy center, and just enough olive oil to give it that unmistakable Italian warmth — this is the kind of loaf that belongs in the center of the table. Even better, there’s no kneading, which happens to be my least favorite part of bread making. Rustic, simple, and deeply satisfying, it’s made for tearing, dipping, and passing around with dinner.
