I recently acquired a bucket of white hard spring wheat.

So far, it seems that the gluten is of low quality and the bread has
very little taste. I was wondering if anyone else had tried to grind
white hard spring wheat to make flour and what your experiences were.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike:

I use home-ground hard white wheat all the time with excellent results. In
yeast breads, try adding a tablespoon or so of vital wheat gluten, or use a
dough enhancer (gluten, diastatic malt, ascorbic acid) such as Laura
Brody's. Your quick breads may be a bit heavier than those made with
all-purpose flour, but in some applications, such as banana bread, that can
be a plus.

Best,
Fitz
