Thanks for the replies.

I am planning a post on "easy" high extraction flour soon. I am hooked on the fresh flour taste.

The scoring is very nice, wonderful work!

By "easy" high extraction flour, are you talking about sifting it yourself? Because the color of your crumb looks great, in fact, almost identical to a local bakeries high extraction miche crumb that I am aiming to get with my miches. Only thing is when I try to mess around and make some h.e. flour I end up with a loaf of a more 'whole wheat' color and density.

The loaf looks great : )

It is neat to see the comments from the members that I have learned so much from. <3

 

Arlo,

I do grind and sift myself. A new technique that is easer then what I did in the past and with better results. I still have more testing to do. Then I will write it up and post it.
