Can you guys tell me if this is the same fabled Golden Buffalo flour that Heartland Mills sells? I can get it in 5 pound bags through a (almost) local grocery store and I'm curious. I figure $5 isn't too much to pay to see how it is.
Hi from Homer!
I've recently lived on a sailboat and expect to do so again. This means I NEED to be a bread baker. My husband bakes lovely bread in the galley oven. I started last winter and have really been enjoying it, though I've thus far limited myself to a wheat bread recipe that we love and prefer for our standard toast and sandwich bread (it's supposedly the Pepperidge Farm recipe). I plan to experiment more with vital wheat gluten and the recipes in a recent Mother Earth News. My goal is to develop a repertoire of a half dozen great breads that:

There are two things though with the Master Recipe:
I've been trying and trying to get my sourdough bread up but have had little success. The 1-2-3 recipe worked out ok except it was always too gloppy to make anything but ciabatta. So I started experimenting with different forumlas, twice a day for two weeks. I think I've hit on something and I'd like some of you guys to maybe try it out and see if it works as well for someon else as it does for me.
This is Glacrwlf with a puzzling question: Where can I find ancient wheat? I read the latest chapters of Yakitate!! Japan, and I heard about this product. I want to find some ancient Filipino Wheat for my Filipay (Filipino Tinapay) and I need to know where to find any Filipino province that has it.
I thought I'd start a quick thread listing where to get supplies locally in southern Ontario. Please feel free to comment with your favorite places and I'll add them to this list.
