If you grind your own wheat...

Do you use the same wheat type for quick breads and yeast bread? I am trying to place my first order on a grain mill and bosch and just wondering what grains I need. :confused:

No. I use soft wheat for "pastry flour" ie. flour suitable to non-yeasted foods. I use either Prairie Gold or Bronze Chief (hard wheat) for yeasted bread. I get my wheat berries from Wheat Montana, (http://www.wheatmontana.com/store/index.php?cPath=22) and they have a pretty informative website. You can view samples of the different types of wheat berries along with brief descriptions of each type.

I use soft white wheat berries for quick breads, cakes, cupcakes et cetera.

Hard red/ hard white wheat berry mixes for yeast breads. You can use just hard red or hard white for bread. I like to mix them together. I have also used hard wheat for muffins when in a pickle. They are just a little dry.
