When baking bread, which is better: fresh-milled flour or store-bought? I'm using my sourdough maple oatmeal sandwich bread to test the differences in the process, dough, texture, and flavor of bread made with fresh-milled hard red winter wheat and store-bought whole wheat. Along the way, I'm sharing sourdough tips for beginners and experts alike. So, even if you don't have a grain mill or you've never made bread, you can still learn how to make homemade sourdough sandwich bread.
