Thanks! Katie Laura,

It only took about a minute for each batch, in our grinder, and our loaves were small.

Bread has always seemed so overwhelming, time consuming, complicated, etc... Well, here I am now, making bread every week like clock work! I make the Honey Whole wheat sourdough from Sarah's Musings. Its the only recipe I've really had success with so far! I'm afraid to try anything else, but I'd really like to learn a recipe for a tasty crusty loaf to go with soups and stews. I might try her french bread recipe. I STILL find bread overwhelming and complicated, but at least I have gained some confidence with ONE recipe! I'm starting to think finding a good bread recipe is like finding your perfect pair of jeans - it's different for everybody! But you sure do have to try on a lot of styles before finding one that fits! I've made MANY sub-par loaves of bread, but it is all part of the learning experience. I have to recommend the bread-baking tutorial at sourdoughhome.com. I made all of those recipes like a good little pupil and I think it made a difference for me. (Not that the recipes came out perfectly.) I have been *thinking* about grinding my own grain for a little while. I'm not ready to invest in any more appliances yet, but I am interested in possibly getting the kitchenaid attachment since I already have the mixer and would therefore require less storage space and less money. I might be using a coffee grinder for a while!!

Have you tried this and how have you adapted the recipe for soaked wheat exactly. Thanks for any help you have.

I just need to hear that encouragement a teensy bit more and I'm THERE! The smell, eh? I'm intrigued. It's really good to know that Lindsay's bread works w/o the dough enhancer, too. Who am I to critique someone who likes to talk? Type on, friend! ;) Katie Erin,
