Sourdough

Hello, I started to make sourdough breads during covid. I use the no knead bread recipe  from King Arthur  Baking Company. My question is: What kind of berries (I bought my own mill) can I use to substitute the bread flour? Sometimes I use 1/3 of wheat flour. I make 2 loaves or 4 a week. 

Thanks so much and Happy New Year!

You can use any hard berries - though they will not be a direct substitute for BF , since you will have the entire berrie , some of which is sorted out in making BF.  I prefer hard white wheat,  aka  winter wheat,  its flavor is similar to BF.   If you use a spring hard red, it will have more of a grassy flavor.    Good luck,  fresh milled flour tastes much better, imo, than store bought flour.
