I bought some organic 7-grain flour from our local
farmer's market on Saturday, That's right farmer's
market, they move it inside the mall during November
and there was still plenty of squash, brussels sprouts,
eggs and even some mixed salad greens they've managed
to keep out of the frost.

Gonna try my hand at a 7-grain bread since the others
have turned out so well. I'm even thinking about getting
a flour mill and grinding my own flour from whole grains,
that's how impressed I am with this bread making method.

Anybody else try it yet ?


I haven't tried no-knead breads. There was a time that I made bread just
about every weekend for more than two years, using a kitchen-aid with a
dough hook, so hand-kneading was non-existant. Before you get into milling
your own flour, I'd recommend picking up some big mixer with a hook.
Variety is the spice of life, and I suspect you'll soon be questing the
perfect loaf. No-Knead ain't gonna be it. Wheat berries can wait.


I've got a Kitchen-Aid and a dough hook and I've tried my hand
at bread baking over the years. I have found the perfect loaf,
or as close to the perfect loaf as I'm likely ever to achieve
at home, and no-knead is it. Seriously, you should try it, I
posted the recipe in a thread called Two Things. The no-knead
method produces a bakery quality boule right out of your home
oven. No kidding.
