Milling flour / flax seed / oat bran
Well I took the plunge and bought a Nutrimill today. It will arrive on Tuesday, along with Hamelman's "Bread" which I just couldn't resist adding to my order. I have been reading a lot of the links here about making bread with whole grains, and am thinking of sticking to recipes that have 30% bread flour and 70% whole grain for now. Just to get me started. I found one that add's 5% oat bran to the recipe which sounds like a good idea (according to my husbands doc anyway). The doc's other suggestion was adding ground flax seed to my breads, but I have heard this is hard on a mill and it might gum it up. I have to admit I have actually never seen a recipe here that contains flax seed, so am wondering if I would do better not putting it into my bread?
I am looking for links that have good information on milling...
I am looking for information on if I will have to sift the flour, like I used to with my hand mill....
I am looking for any recipe's that might contain either oat bran or ground flax seed...
I am also hoping for a loaf of bread that doesn't resemble a brick! Any pointers would be greatly appreciated....
