OK, I've bought the covered dough bucket; the dough stirrer-upper stick; the SAF yeast with the cool storage container and measuring spoon...and a pizza stone - and have just mixed up my very first batch of dough. Um...but I just HAD to get creative and used AP flour (5 cups) and some oat flour (2 1/2 cups) - I noticed the dough was dry, so I added an extra teaspoon of water. Everything else I left the same as the instructions. So, what havoc will I go through because of my walk on the wild side use of oat flour?? :) It's rising very nicely in its new bucket... I LOVE KAF website and the fact that most commenters here get a personal reply! I, too, wish I could bake all the time, but that's one reason I love the holiday season! (Too cold to ride my horse, so I can stay in and bake Christmas gifts for my friends and neighbors!) Happy Holidays to everyone! Valerie Greenville, SC And happy holidays to you, Valerie. I expect your bread won't rise as high (it'll spread sideways rather than rise), nor have as crisp a crust, but it should be very moist inside, and quite tasty. Let us know what happens, OK? PJH
