Do you have a FMF Soughdough starter recipe?
Thank you

In reply to Charm. Yes! That's one method I use in different recipes. I like to sift all the bran out, use some of the water in the recipe and pour it over the sifted bran, let it soften for 10 minutes, then add it back into the dough. It can work wonders if you're struggling to get your dough to cooperate with fresh milled flour. Let me know how it works for you!

Question for a newbie: would there be any benefit in sifting the total flour amount and using the bran in the preferment?

Oh, great question–I’ll add that to the recipe. I just use a standard loaf pan, 9×5.

In reply to Abby. Go ahead and use the hard white wheat berries that you have!

Hello I only have hard white berriers. I just started milling my own flour. Will the recipe turn out if I use them or should I try to get hard red?

Can I use 1/2 hard red and 1/2 spelt?
