   The boules are resting, and now we start a fire, for today we bake bread in The Phoenix.

     @GettingCooked you grinding your own flour yet? 🤣

     @c00p @GettingCooked I have a manual cranked burr style mill and a stone mill that hooks up to the front of my stand mixer. I am interested in a stand alone unit because in my experience I end up having to sift out around half of what I grind up to get a nice general use flour. I have seen claims that the automatic counter top units make ready to use flour with no additional sifting (I assume it's handled inside). I have a hard time convincing anyone else in the house to pull out the grinder and sift through the flour but if I could tell them just pour a couple cups in the grinder I think that'd be a lot easier and we wouldn't keep having these weird bags of flour mysteriously show up at the house.

     Having not baked bread in here, I'm going to guess a 2 hour firing will be sufficient to warm the mass up. We'll see.

     @GettingCooked it’s a nightmare with the hand crank. I can’t afford the electric, but I bet if you had it it’d be easy peesy.

     I got a few hundred pounds of wheat berries I plan to make into bread at some point 🤣

     @c00p @GettingCooked yeah hand cranking a mill gets old fast. the one that hooks up to the stand mixer is pretty good. I use it for salt too so I can buy bulk course grain and grind fine to use in cures or other recipes.

     @c00p @GettingCooked I figured having mechanical devices that really can't fail in unfixable ways made sense, but it really makes you appreciate the use of external power (be it combustion or electrical).

     @thatguyoverthere @GettingCooked I didn’t know what I was getting into after brewing all grain for decades I figured it’d be like barley 🤣 I was wrong!
