You said finely milled, my mill has pastry, bread and coarse. Do you recommend pastry setting instead of bread?

My dough is not rising much and my bread seems heavy. I tried a second batch with different yeast and still having trouble with the rise. I did make sure I have instant yeast. What else can I try? Should I add the yeast sooner?

I tested my yeast with warm water and a little sugar, so I don’t think the yeast is the problem.

Also, I am kneading with my kitchen aid. I turn it on the slowest speed but seems kind of fast to me. Could that be a problem?

I made a single loaf yesterday and even though the pan was very well greased with avocado oil the bread stuck badly. Do you have tips on what could possibly be wrong? I have been making bread for years with ap flour and am struggling with the difference of that and fresh milled. Thank you in advance

I'm not sure why that would happen as I've never had a loaf stick in 15+ years of baking breads. Was your dough sticky during shaping?

I am so excited! Tried this recipe again and it didn’t stick! Another question and I apologize in advance for bothering you again but how long do you keep the loaf in the pan before turning out to a wire rack? With ap flour I turned out immediately, do I do the same with this fresh milled recipe?

It wasn’t overly sticky, added a bit more flour while shaping after the second rise so was easy to handle. Didn’t think it would be this much of a learning curve for me, I might be over thinking it a bit, afraid of adding too much with the fresh milled vs AP. I am using the same pans I’ve used for 20 years so maybe it is time to upgrade 😊

Suggestions on how to prevent the bread from becoming crumbly? Also, when it comes to storage, is it better to slice the bread only when you’re ready to use it, or can it be sliced ahead of time without becoming too hard?

Yes I have suggestions! Do you have a grain mill, if so which one? Crumbly can come from several things but one is not being kneaded enough. Did your dough reach windowpane? I like to leave the loaves whole and slice them as we need them. I think it keeps them fresh longer.

You can omit if you want. It just helps soften the bran and make the bread lighter

I'd add the 7c. I've transitioned to that method and have been liking it. But it works great either way.

It says to add 7 cups of flour in step 2, but then says add the flour slowly a 1/2 cup at a time on step 4. But that would only 1/2 cup left to add according to the recipe. How did you all do this?

Sometimes you will need more than the amount of flour called for depending on the flour you use and your climate etc. So add the remaining 1/2 cup and add more slowly if needed
