Adding Red Fife flour...
Forums:
I saw some organic Red Fife flour in my local bulk barn ($3.75 /kg) which looked interesting so bought it. Now I'm not sure what to do with it. Would you substitute it 1:1 for bread flour or perhaps just a % of the whole?

The Modern Baker Challenge
Forums:
If you are looking for a diversion from artisan breads, or you just want to expand your baking horizons, surf over to The Modern Baker Challenge and check out the new venture some of us are undertaking.
Like the BBA Challenge, which I just completed, we are going to bake our way through an entire book: Nick Malgieri's The Modern Baker. Nick's book contains sections on quick breads, yeast breads, tarts, pies, and cakes. There are about 150 recipes in all. And, yes, I am planning to bake every last one of them.

KAF Blog on Kansas wheat tour
Forums:
I'd just like to point out that the KAF blog site has an article on their company's tour of Kansas wheat farms and other facilities. There are a couple of short video clips included. The article also paid attention to the work that is being done at Kansas State University. For bakers near their Manhattan, KS campus, keep in mind that they sell some of the flour they produce there to the public one day a week. IIRC, it's on Wednesday afternoons. The article and the videos are well worth the time to read and view.

Anyone notice that fresh flour uses less water?
Forums:
I was fixing Peter Reinhart's Variation 1 White loaf on page 266 of his Bread Baker's Apprentice and used 10 oz of water as opposed to the books 13 to 14 oz.
