Anyone milling their own flour?

It doesn't if you get the hydration right

Ah well I wouldn't consider myself an expert!

I had tons of crappy loaves before I got it working and bread flour is definitely more forgiving. And then using the same vessel to do the rise in so you know when it's at the right stage. I saw a lot of people using stickers on the side of containers when doing their rises and was like ahhhhhh! Let's face it, doubled in size is a bit vague.

I was under kneading for ages and that was the biggest problem, and you need to take care with tensioning and shaping. Bake With Jack on youtube I learned loads from. He's a good lad. I am now only 49% crap!

No Knead bread, leave mixture of water and flour for 24 hours, bake in a dutch oven and you will get a light airy bread with plain flour.
