I do use the mixer, though when my mixer was dead for a while I just made a wet dough and it was fine just stirring by hand. Glad you like the taste, we like sour bread too :)Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253120851598570692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776297020223769372.post-33180855449121401092010-03-14T20:36:12.047-06:002010-03-14T20:36:12.047-06:00I tried making your bread this week.

How much butter/coconut oil/olive oil do you use? I noticed in your step by step pictures, you used butter and coconut oil. Does it matter what combination of oil is used? Also do you knead your dough in your mixer? From your directions I did not think that you did, but I was wondering if that would help develop the gluten. Thanks for any help you have. My husband liked this recipe much more than the one I have been making in my bread machine.ERKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017846063735987964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776297020223769372.post-89645787021525346852010-02-01T14:43:39.832-07:002010-02-01T14:43:39.832-07:00Thanks Nika,

The sprouting does make sense in that case! I'm going to need to get another mill... I have a bunch of wheat berries and a deal mill.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253120851598570692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776297020223769372.post-90764960523878081732010-02-01T13:17:50.993-07:002010-02-01T13:17:50.993-07:00I sprout the wheat, dry it, then grind, to get fan...I sprout the wheat, dry it, then grind, to get fantastic low phytic acid flour.<br /><br />Phytic acid is a way that the grain protects itself (its a component of seed coat and in germplasm). When seeds sprout, they begin to breakdown this nutrient-chelating acid.<br /><br />Its thought that before modern times, much of our grain, not being harvested by huge machines and pampered with modern tech, was sprouted on some level before it reached the mill.<br /><br />I blogged about how to sprout, dry, grind (super easy) at this link: http://nikas-culinaria.com/2009/05/26/sprouted-wwflour/<br /><br />You might wish to consider using the mechanisms evolved in grain to break down phytic acid rather than using a chemical method.nikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254816504219444705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776297020223769372.post-62136814024335597572010-01-31T22:14:45.683-07:002010-01-31T22:14:45.683-07:00looks good...i've never tried a wet dough...wo...looks good...i've never tried a wet dough...would like to try sprouted bread.

I've had wet dough make good bread before also, but not in my bread machine - there it has to be firm enough to tolerate the longer rising cycle.Jessicahttp://breastfeedingbasics.info/noreply@blogger.com
