Just wondering what qualities semolina brings to this bread. I am not a prolific baker and am not sure if this bread would be dense or light or whatever. Just curious

SPEW!!!!! Well, just between you and I, ssssshhhhhhh, first I beat the daylights out of it (in the KA), then I rub it around in a nice warm oiled bowl, after it has risen to the . . . . oooops The handwriting recognition software didn't quite get that right! 
Semolina flour is a high gluten flour made from the endosperm of durum wheat. It is ground twice to make a fine flour. There is also a coarse semolina flour - but for the bread I used the fine, the same flour used for pasta.

That's funny.
I wanna know that too. Maybe that's why my baking seldom turns out. I don't please it correctly.
