I've been grinding wheat. (That I have purchased locally.)
I've been kneading and rising and proofing....
And hopelessly failing.
Flat. Chewy. Tasteless.
So I need to figure out why....
Did forgetting to put the salt in really make that big of a difference???
Thoughts?
Yes. :( Looks like salt is a big deal in bread. I find that the lack of salt in any baked products yields a less-than-stellar result. I did a quick check for your bread too-- http://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/salt.html
ReplyDeleteKeep trying!! They look beautiful!
Good thought on milling your own grain. Everytime I go grocery shopping I think to myself, DAMN!!! Flour prices are outrageous! No way am I paying $3.79 for this 5 lb. bag of organic flour.
