You can get "semolina flour" from specialty stores, or the real thing
imported from Italy. As mainstream US flour goes, unbleached bread
flour is a pretty close equivalent, if a bit coarser; I recall the
Italian grind as being extremely fine, like US "pre-sifted".
All-purpose flour is softer. In any case, I'd stick with unbleached: I
don't favor bleached flours for making pasta; the way they take liquid
just feels wrong to me.
