BREAD baking

What type of flour do you use for your artisan breads?
Do you mill your own?

I use regular unbleached flour that I find at my grocery store. My store does not carry unmilled flour, although if they did I'd be tempted to try to mill it.

I've also mixed whole wheat flour with white with good results.

I use King Arthur brand unbleached all-purpose flour.

I think if I tried milling my own flour I'd have to give up doing some other thing I enjoy doing more. Plus, then I'd start feeling like I had to grow my own wheat or something....

Yesterday I made a loaf for a friend. She brought it to her sister's for dinner and it was a big hit. Today I made another loaf and just had a steaming slice (with butter, of course). It's so good!

I'm making bread for holiday presents.

put a little fleur de sel on the butter... that's even more yum!

On Saturday I pulled out my big tupperware that I use to store the dough. My plan was to mix up a batch to bake on Sunday and for the rest of the week.

Then I realized that it was a big mistake. I'm trying to lose weight and having fresh baked bread in the house is a really, really bad idea. I cannot eat this in moderation! So, I put the tupperware away last night and decided that I'll save bread making for another day. So sad!

Can you make just one little itty bitty boule a day?
