Well, fresh ground whole wheat took 5 cups of water to get shaggy and it's still not as shaggy as with AP. Going to let it rise a bit and may still add more water. IDK.

ETA: Debby/Ron, thoughts????

Whole grain flour will absorb more water. It will look different from AP flour but should work fine. A bit wet looking is good

feels wet, but not nearly as sticky. slide right out of the bowl into it's rise container.

I can't wait to see how it does!
If it is too dense, then adding gluten flour or subbing in 1\3 to 1\2 of flout as AP or Bread flour will help

So far it appears to be rising nicely, way faster than the ap flour. hoping it will be airy... we'll see.

It should be very good.

@rjohns39 x2 on Ron's suggestions. I've never had luck with using only whole grain flour. Don't know if that's due to our altitude or just me

Please share with us how your bread works out, can't wait to see it!

rjohns and Ron, Am excited to read the final results. I like the idea of adding
multigrains to this WONDERFUL recipe. Ron you think of the 7 cups of flour...
5 cups white and 2 cups multigrain?

Waiting for the results. Regards, Aria
