Naomi, that's an excellent question! It might indeed affect your dough, but without the guaranteed consistency from professionally milled flour, this is something you'll just need to experiment with yourself, taking good notes until you find a hydration that works best for your particular flour. We'd start with 75% hydration and then adjust from there as needed. Happy baking!
