More Bread Experiments

After many differing results with the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day method of bread making, I am trying something new today.  I am using a flour that comes from a local farm shop and is ground at Wessex Mill.  Each bag can be traced back to the specific farm the wheat was grown on.Although this is a small mill it is still roller ground, like most of the flour we buy in the supermarkets.  So, first, I will make and use a batch made from this flour and later I will make and use...
