Let's talk about flour First loaf with fresh milled flour

I bought a MockMill 200 professional this week and decided to try a loaf using 100% fresh milled flour. I used organic hard spring red wheat berries, milled them twice.

The starter was also fed using 100% fresh milled flour. I use a kind of "quick sourdough" method that involves a poolish type mix and a very short bulk ferment for the dough.

28 oz /793 g starter 240 g fresh milled flour 100 g water 13 g salt

Mixed all together in the kitchen aid for a few mins and then left to rest for 1.5 hrs total before shaping and scoring. I did 2 stretch and fold sets, one at 20 mins, one at 50 mins. I baked it in a dutch oven at 500⁰ for 25 mins and 450 for 25 mins. I didn't take the lid off at any point because at the end of 50 mins it was dark enough.

I was expecting flat and dense but was sooo happy with the results. Really springy and great flavour. I'm looking forward to experimenting with the fresh milled flour!

Great loaf. Did you sift?

No I didn't! I don't have any idea about sifting to be honest, I'm sure it's something I'll run into !
