Pasta Flour

[cupbaker]

I am currently in the Azores, which is pretty isolated so I have to order many ingredients, but I have found some Semolina. Is it necessary to buy flour from King Arthur or can I make my own blend of pasta flour, their shipping prices are rediculous. I have seen recipes with only semolina and I have seen some combinations. I tried making papperdelle with the local cake flour but turned out pretty dense.

Yes you can add 10% semolina finely grinded (use a spice or coffee grinder) to the normal Portuguese flour.
