This loaf just gave me the excuse I needed to order your organic flour. I am a regular baker and have most items needed in my pantry. Professional bread bakers seem to swear by "organic" and think it makes a better loaf. I'm willing to try. Not too long ago I made a "7 grain" loaf and used WHOLE sunflower seeds. I think I would prefer it to grinding them up - after all they are so tiny they are hardly noticeable. I am not crazy about flaxseeds but know how nutricious they are. I buy them already ground-up, when I need them in the supermarket. There are only 2 people in my family, and we don't share the same taste in bread. I ALWAYS FREEZE OUR BREAD and take it out to defrost a short time before a meal. With a sharp knife it can be cut when it begins to defrost and then the slices soften quickly. I put the remaining loaf right back in the freezer for the next meal. I use freezer-type ziplock bags. I sucessfully freeze all rolls, bread, waffles, pancakes, cakes, etc., because I like the out-of-the-oven taste. After all the work it takes to make good homemade stuff, I want to enjoy it for as long as I can. Thanks for all of the great recipes.
