Particularly the shipping costs to where I live, right now I am lucky enough to have enough stored up to not have to buy any for quite a while. <br /><br />Only thing I might buy is some rye and some soft wheat for other baking. Oh, that bag of wheat was for 25 lbs, which is actually a good price in my area.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844823685737127151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073609469473253898.post-1255105547226486182011-03-29T16:58:29.251-07:002011-03-29T16:58:29.251-07:00$12.68 is a steal if that is a 50# bag!
I love Mo...$12.68 is a steal if that is a 50# bag!<br /><br />I love Montanna Wheat and there is a special going on this weekend, $16.99 for a 50# bag of Hard White Spring wheat.<br /><br />The source says that spring wheat seems to have more protein that winter (not sure how much). You want your wheat to be at 15% or higher in protein and 10% or less in moisture. <br /><br />Grinding your own wheat naturally adds moisture in the process, and was probably what you noticed in your loaves. <br /><br />Interesting post!Frieda Loves Breadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265482581165683185noreply@blogger.com
