Anyone use white whole wheat flour?
I prefer its taste for my 100% whole wheat bread.

Interesting, Mike. Most home bakers recommend feeding daily which IMHO is a waste of ingredients: after a feed an amount that is similar to what was added is binned.

Nice loaves. How do you keep your starter alive?

That'll be a new challenge. Do you have experience?

No oscillating, you just push the handle down. Maybe this is a better picture:

Any of you homebakers ever used a bread slicer? I am thinking of buying one. I make a lot of pumpernickel and it is very hard to cut into nice slices. Any thoughts about this one?

You can regulate the flavours of your sourdough yourself without having to buy various cultures.

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

Tried all that in vain. I do get the impression that the ready to bake stuff uses different wheats, or processed meal or has indeclared additives. I get the stuff from a local tradtional miller,...

5% is more than I have seen in most recipies.
Levy Beranbaum recommends you do not use more than 4% IIRC.
Maybe I should use more as I use Rotkorn spelt meal that has not been crossed with wheat.

70% water, 1.5% yeast 2% salt 2% gluten and 1% diastatic malt. I have tried a lot of things , last thing I tried is this recipe from my local miller: mix all ingredients for a few minutes only, let...

Jealous of all the nice loaves I see coming by in this thread. Although I do get niceish loaves mine never come out really nice.

Similar rye bread can be bought in Gemany and Danmark.

I use a constant temperature if I use an oven; I don't know what my bread machine does.

I baked Friesian ryebread, started Friday night. Slow food by excellence: you soak broken rye grains overnight, next day add salt and wholewheat flour or treacle for stickiness as rye does not...

Why do you bake them a day ahead?

It is a very basic bread maker. It has 12 programs. E.g. one for wholemeal and one for white bread, Within those programs you can only set the weight. So what I do now is switching off the machine...

Thanks for your help. I found out what the problem is. The machine has a 1st and 2nd rise. 2nd rise about an hour but I discovered that halfway the machine will knead the dough for a minute or so....

The missus got me a bread machine for my birthday. I get great loaves using bread baking mixes from the supermarket but if I start from scratch, using wholemeal, water, yeast and salt I get very...
