I started with 2 Cups of Red Fife and 1 Cup of White Sonora wheat. This produced about 4 3/4 Cups of freshly milled flour. Sifting produced roughly 4 Cups.
1st: 5 3/4 Cups of Water in the mixer with 3 1/4 Tablespoons of Yeast and ~3 Cups of freshly milled flour and mix until flour is entirely wetted, should be very liquidy. Now is the autolyze - Verification that the yeast is working. I basically didn't have to wait because it started making bubbles almost immediately.
2nd: While on the lowest mixing setting add The rest of the freshly milled flour, 1/4 Cup at a time, allowing time for it to incorporate and 3/4 Cup of Honey 3/4 Cup Coconut Oil 4 3/4 teaspoons Salt 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Stabilized Rice Bran (Not Necessary)(I forgot to add this until I added maybe 3 more cups of flour) For the remainder of the flour, I used Vitrea Artisan Bread flour from Hayden Mills, 1/4 Cup at a time, allowing time for it to incorporate, until the dough begins to separate from the bowl. Turn the oven on to pre-heat @350F. Oil the bread pans (using 9x5 bread pans)
It is at this point, I should have added about 9 cups of Vitrea flour, Instead I was probably at about 7 1/2. I decided to knead for 7 minutes in the machine on the lowest setting before realizing my mistake because of the tackiness of the dough still at that point, I then added an extra cup of flour, bringing the total to 12 1/2 Cups of flour. Next I let the machine knead for another 5 minutes, with a total knead time of about 12 minutes. The dough was smooth enough for my satisfaction at this point. I also didn't want to over knead it.
3rd: I floured down the silicone mat and dumped the dough on it, dividing it into 3 even portions, using a scale to verify. Roll the portions into rectangles approximately 18x12, fold in thirds like a letter. And tightly roll the remainder, tucking the seams in the under-side of the loaf and placing the loaf in the Oiled bread pans. Mist them with water to keep them from sticking to a tea towel covering over them while they rise, 10-30 minutes (depends on your yeast), until they roughly double in size. I only had to wait 15 minutes. Into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
That looks really good! Well Done! Where did you get the grains that you ground into flour? I inherited an older DAK Dome style bread machine that I used fairly often before the COVID fraud. I'm itching to pull it out and start making some bread!
Thank you! Both grains and flour I purchased from Hayden Mills locally. I haven't yet used the Hard White that I just received from Azure Standard, we'll see how that does soon.

I have a WonderMill, which is an impact style mill. It makes a lot of fine flour very quickly, but it doesn't have much variability for grain coarseness.
