I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Artisan Bread


We just purchased a NutriMill grain mill. A friend has one and loves it so Randy decided to give it a try knowing that freshly ground flours offer the most nutritional value. It has a 20 cup capacity, has great reviews and grinds fine or coarse flours.


Randy also bought 25 pounds of organic Hard Red Spring Wheat. You might ask why we are going to all of this trouble for bread. Because there is no good (nutritious) bread in Payson!!


The canister on the left has some of the ground flour in it. The other containers have rye and whole wheat sourdough starter in them. Randy has been using the cookbook, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois for much of his bread baking . His favorite whole wheat recipe is on page 76....100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread. He even made English Muffins with this recipe....they are so good!
