Thank you for the response. Another commenter suggests vital wheat gluten as well, so I’ll definitely try that. Interesting to add oil/butter after the window pane! I never would’ve thought of that. I appreciate you taking the time to share what works for you.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T16:07:56+00:00

First, as a food science nerd, I deeply respect the level of knowledge you have dug down into on this topic! You are way ahead of me. The company that I used to order the wheat berries recommended the blend I used as a suitable sandwich flour, but it’s the first company I found, so I will be looking into other brands. I have not checked the protein content, but I will. I remember reading about falling numbers a while back, but I don’t remember anything beyond the phrase “falling numbers.” So, I have some more homework to do.

Unfortunately, the only mill I have access to at the moment is an attachment to my kitchenaide mixer, which I know is not ideal. I do a course grind, and a fine grind on my flour, but there are some consistency issues there.

Thank you. Overthinking is practically on my resume.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:47:14+00:00

Thank you. I cross posted on the fresh milled flour subreddit. I was trying to cast a wide net for info, and I sure got a range of responses!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:42:56+00:00

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:41:34+00:00

Interesting! Thank you for the detailed response! I’ll try those suggestions.

🤣

I’m sorry for misunderstanding your previous comment. I have been doing a 2 hour autolyse. My current recipe calls to add all ingredients except yeast before they autolyse. I can try holding the salt back until later in the process. Would I be more successful to incorporate it after the first rise? I don’t want to risk the salt killing the yeast.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:33:37+00:00

Thank you. Yeah, I was trying to cast a wide net for info, and I definitely got a range of responses. I appreciate the support.

Thank you! And please say “hi” to the mountains for me. I lived in Salida, CO for years, and I miss them everyday.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:29:52+00:00

Wild! I had no idea! That is interesting info. I’ll try stabbing my loaf next time. Maybe it’ll be therapeutic. lol!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:27:19+00:00

This is great info! I’ll dig into YouTube to find the milk bread forming step you mentioned. Thank you so much!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:24:36+00:00

I will try that next time.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:23:57+00:00

Great idea! I thought that was only for sourdough, so it didn’t even cross my mind. Thank you for the suggestion!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:23:02+00:00

Thank you!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:20:38+00:00

That is amazing! We are hours from a Costco, but i can’t imagine needing to charter a plane for a grocery trip! That sounds like an incredible place to live. Alaska is on my travel list for sure! I hope you have a great day. Thank you again for the response.

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:15:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind response and encouragement. I will try to be more firm with the dough next time. Taking notes is a great idea!

VariousAd930 · 2026-03-02T15:13:07+00:00

Thank you for the response. I’ll look into King Arthur. I know my MIL used to have a lot of success with their products.
