I'm
ing this thread!! I'm so glad that everyone is sharing the experiences (and fears) about making the bread. I use a bread machine but have never done anything free form like this.
Questions:
What is the consistency of your dough just after mixing before the rise? I was expecting something kinda sticky and wet, but mine is dense and firm like playdough (I'm using King Arthur bread flour... I wonder how that effects it.
)
Also, has anyone used freshly milled wheat in their recipe? I'd love to hear how that went... if you had to make any changes, if your results were the same as what we've seen here. According to the book, it won't make as nice a crust (bummer).
