Great find! The International Food Mart, next door to What the Book, has Semolina flour! I could not believe it. If you bake bread, and nevr used semolina flour, just use it 1 - 4. 1 part semolina to 4 parts bread flour. Or if you want a thicker chewy bread, use it 1 - 2, 1 part semolina to 2 parts bread flour.

I also got fresh peas and fresh string beans there. Check out the vegetable section, they some times have oddities. I had bought tomatilos there once.

They have couscous also, and a host of other things.

I'd pretty much kill for some whole wheat flour. Anyone seen any?

[teachingld2004]

Some times "The red door" has it. Also they have sort f a whole wheat flour. called "Milk- ah-loo" Sorry, this key board does not type Korean. It is not like the whole wheat we know, but it is ok. Try the Semolina, it has a GREAT taste. Also you can grind oatmeal or barley in the blender and grind it to a fine powder, and you can use that.

I have been baking bread for years, and never ruined a loaf. (Unless you count the time I was really stoned and forgot to put in the yeast)

Wahoo!

My co-teacher is a whiz at internet shopping. I'll have her do a search for it. ����, ����...gotta remember it. Thanks!

If the search fails, it's home-made barley flour time. That's good and useful info, too.

I live way out in the sticks. Our grocery store here in town only has meat on Wed. and Thurs. I have to go to Namji and Changnyoung for shopping--and they ain't a whole lot bigger places.

Can you buy a bread maker here? I don't have an oven and not likely to ever get one while I am here.

Where generaally do you get the ingredients from?

[Ya-ta Boy]

All reasonable sized grocery stores have the flour and yeast. I get the eggs from a chicken that drives through my apt complex early every evening.

ON the subject of flour,....

Has anyone deciphered the difference between the flour in the bags with blue, green, brown labels? Then there is the brand in a yellowish bag.

LOL.. wangja.. no they are all bleached white flours. only the packaging is different... just that cake flour is thinner than all-purpose and I am not sure how bread flour differs..

If you want brown bread, you need wholewheat flour... or you could make it with brown rice flour? no sure, really.......
