New from Ontario :)

Hello,

I am just starting to get interested in making bread.  I am a mom of 6 children who we homeschool.  I have always been interested in nutrition and I try to choose healthy foods for us to eat.  I have just started making our bread and I am loving it.  I love the smell.  I love the kneading.  I love my children and husband mmmmmm'ing every time they eat a piece of bread.  There really is nothing like it!

I really have a tonne of questions and I feel lost as to where to start.  I basically know nothing.  

I would love to learn about flours.  I have a Vitamix and I would be making our flour.  How do I know what is healthy, yet tasty?  How do I know how much of a certain flour to use if I change from the recipe.  I have only baked with whole wheat and it turns out very tasty.  I did try making buckwheat flour and we all spit the bread out.  It was awful.  Anyway, I will be lurking on here for a while and then the questions will start.  :)
