Hello all, Happy New Year,
I am new to making bread, obviously. I am a dabbler. I love to try anything and everything. I am really interested in living a self sustainable lifestyle. I have raised pigs, goats, chickens (both layer and meat), turkeys and this spring will try lambs. I also love to craft that would include sewing, quilting, rug hooking, (yes, I am a hooker, lol), I weld and am new to scrapbooking.

On my 2013 bucket list, I want to learn to make bread. My favorite is sourdough, I am originally from the San Fransisco, California area, moved to Idaho 8 years ago and I really miss the SF sourdough. I have found a few places to purchase the starter but I am still a little lost.

Hy HB bought me a grain miller for my kitchenaid mixer for Christmas and am anxious on using it.

I guess I should start with "What flour(s) do I need to mill for sourdough? Fortunatley, I am not gluten intolerant. I have a Whole Foods, Natural Grocers and a Huckelberry's near me. I think Trader Joe's is on the area radar as well.

I would appreciate any info anyone is interested in giving me, :)
