Hi guys, I was away for many years from your webpage and the blog, but I have now time for baking and finding new ideas.
Years ago, we had a discussion about a substitute for the Swiss Ruchmehl. Has somebody a good solution with a reasonable success?
I'm baking St. Galler Puerli with AP and Rye and they are excellent, but you need time for this bread. I do another bun with AP and Acadian flour - an also very interesting combination.

I found a supplier for Organic Sprouted Sifted Wheat Flour
Secondspringfoods in Canada/Ontario

I also often use spelt or dark wheat flour to compensate for the lack of Ruchmehl, I find the flavor a bit stronger.
As best I can tell, Ruchmehl is roller-milled whole wheat flour sifted to around 85% extraction. A #30 screen would probably sift roller-milled WW to 85%. For the stone-ground whole wheat I can get locally, it takes a #40 screen to get 85%.
