Dough: Enriched Durum Semolina

Durum semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is commonly used in pasta and bread making due to its high protein content and gluten strength. The semolina is 'enriched' with added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron, as required by U.S. regulations.

Semolina is the primary ingredient in many pasta products, providing structure and a firm texture. It is also used in some breads, couscous, and desserts. Enrichment adds back nutrients lost during milling.

Durum semolina is a staple grain product and is generally considered safe for consumption. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. The added vitamins and iron contribute to nutrient intake. No specific regulatory evaluations or health concerns are typically associated with durum semolina itself.
