    I've only had the mill for two days now. I used what I had available so no I haven't tried the Hard White and doubt that I will as we don't grown it in these parts.

    To the best of my knowledge the only source for such a thing would be from Amazon and to be economically efficient I'd have to buy 40 -50 #'s at a time and I don't make that much bread. This is more or less just for fun. With that said, maybe in the future I might get more involved and give the hard white a go.

    I get my wheat berries from Pleasant Hill Grain. They be in Nebraska and are about the best source I know of for grain of all kinds as well as all kinds of bread making supplies and gear in general.

    @Cudarunner: the Soft White Washington after milling you show above looks like it has no bran in it. Did you sieve it out?

    I didn't use any kind of sieve, the wheat is very pale in color so the bran doesn't stand out like the Hard Red does.

    Here's a pic to show the difference with the raw kernels.

    Even if you sieve out the rough bran the color doesn't change cause you can't get all the other components out like the endosperm. You would need to turn it into typical processed "white" flour like you see at the grocer. I don't know what the process is but I don't think you can do it at home.

    I decided on something a bit different for supper but I needed (pun intended) some bread for it so here it is:

    I used store bought Unbleached with about 1/4 of the total was my fresh milled hard red.

    Yup! Au Jus Sandwiches. The beef is some I canned and the 'Dipping Sauce' is from the canning.

    I have several cookbooks but one of my favorites is by Dom De Louise called 'Eat This It'll Make You Feel Better'. The title reflects what his mother would tell him whether he'd fallen and scraped his knee or had a tummy ache. "Here, Hava Cookie, it'll makea you feel better".

    It's filled with recipes from his mom, other ladies from his neighborhood in Brooklyn where he grew up. However there's a recipe from Nancy Reagan in there also along with many Hollywood celebrities.

    I highly recommend the book even if you never try one of the recipes as there are such wonderful stories that start many of the recipes.

    Anyway if Dom would have made videos with his mom about her recipes, I have this vision that his mom would sound just like Gina as she and his father had immigrated from Italy.
