Hello, new baker
Hi,
Over the years I've become increasingly more conscious about my food chain/supply and now I'm interested in producing my own flour for breads and baked goods. I'm perfectly comfortable in the kitchen preparing meals, but don't have a lot of experience baking, though I can make a batch of cookies with ease.
I don't currently own a stand mixer or grain mill but intend to in the near future. However, they are large investments, so any recommendations or suggestions would be welcome. I do consider them investments, so I'm more interested in capabilities and quality than price.
Also, can anyone suggest some first-time bread bakers recipes for sandwich bread and baguettes? I'm interested in trying the Americas Test Kitchen recipe for baguettes but wonder how it fares with whole wheat (recipe calls for apf).
Thanks in advance.
