I realise now that I should have said I was freaked by savoury porridge not savoury grits.  Will take the leap soon, I promise!

Yesterday was market day at Woodson’s Mill, a still functioning 18th century water powered mill here in central VA. Deep Roots Milling mills regional grains once a month and then sells their flours the following weekend.

So I hauled my sorry keister down there to bag me some flour. This loaf is 70% Deep Roots Silver Bread Flour (80% extraction) + home milled yecora rojo (15%), spelt (10%) and rye (5%). 80% hydration.

So cool that the mill is still operational.

Beautiful baguettes @David Chang.  My favourite. What do you do with them with you have them in quantities such as this?  Freeze?  Gift?  Gorge?  I vote for gorging.

Desem with 100% Deep Roots Milling Silver AP flour, which is 80% extraction Nueast hard red wheat. Nueast is regional, suited for our mid-Atlantic/southern climate, and also used by Carolina Ground. Nueast has a distinctly nutty flavor.
