Can flour be grinded too fine for bread baking?

I recently purchased a country grain mill manual grinder and just getting into grinding my own flour for breads.

From a baking stand point, is it possible to grind wheat into flour "too fine" for breads?

I am no expert, but I have used a number of mills, and have set them to grind as fine as possible and have not had any problems.
