Adding Red Fife flour...

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?

So you can use it any way you wish. I got some Red Turkey flour a while ago and, although it's bolted whole wheat, it stand on its own quite nicely.

 

I hope these heritage varieties like Red Fife and Turkey gain in popularity.

Here is my loaf. It's quite good - I imagine it will go lovely with a bowl of chili..it tastes 'hearty'. I will definately make it again.

Please excuse the slashes..I was playing

We have Wisconsin grown, stone ground Red Fife flour available!  Our 2016 crop was excellent.  Visit http://www.anarchyacres.com/wisconsins-wheat to learn more about the heritage wheat of Wisconsin, and to purchase Red Fife flour and wheat berries.  Thank you!

Below shot is of a pizza made with Red Fife crust.  I have used Red Fife in everything from bread to pancakes.  Great stuff and easy to work with.
