Organic flour
Hey everybody...
Just jumping into milling. I've noticed many of the WW sourdough recipes call for some type of lighter AP or bread flour. I'm trying to avoid using commercial flour (hence my own milling) and was wondering how to get these varieties without going down the dark road of commercial mills. With the term "Organic" being ripe for exploitation these days, I would have to take any claims that a major commercial mill makes regarding the "organic" quality of their flours with a serious grain of salt. I'm not going to mill my own heritage Red Fife or Turkey wheat berries and then dump a bunch of King Arthur bread flour in there, because...well, that's kind of defeating the whole purpose, in my opinion. So how do we know we're "doing the right thing" when we we order organic? (Sorry, I was trying to get through this post without naming names). So...Whom do we buy from, and why? Breadtopia appears to have excellent organic options, as well as a conscience. Any thoughts? BTW, I am aware of the discussions/arguments about sifting/bolting the home-milled flour to achieve a reasonable facsimile of AP or bread flour. This post assumes that I would be buying organic flour. Thanks.
