Mixing different flours
hi everyone. Newby here.
I've only started trying to bake my own bread recently. Up to now i've made about 5 or 6 loaves, they've all been made with just strong white flour. I've bought some strong wholemeal/grain flour, and I'm wondering if i can combine strong white and wholemeal flour in the same loaf, and would it taste ok?
thanks everyone

ok, thanks rockfish.
I've given that a try. It's sitting in the proving basket at the moment. I let you know how it goes.
it went well. Definitely my best effort yet.
my Improvised cloche worked too, which was a bonus.
only a little bit to be honest, I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Wish i'd added more now.
it was about 450g white, and 50g ww, 100g starter dough. so not very much at all. I'll add more next time.
thanks for all the tips everyone. I will give them a try.
Hi Daisy - Yes, a UK baker. The flour is Doves Farm Organic (similar packaging to Shipton Mill). first time using it for me, It seemed to work well, the bread was really light and fluffy inside.
