I followed (more or less) the recipe that Junko @jyokota has sent encouraging us to make bread at home. I had already done it but with a different recipe. Now this is Jane’s bread @jpittinger. I still have a problem in translation: what’s the difference between wheat and white flour? Thank you
Caterina, I think they are different terms. Wheat is what we in the western world usually use to make flour. "White flour" is one of the many varieties of flour that we make from wheat. It would be helpful to see the context, and also the region the recipe is from, as terms vary around the world. And your bread looks gorgeous, and the photo is great!
It's beautiful! Wheat flour typically over here refers to whole wheat flour, which is much more dense and typically mixed with "all-purpose" or "white" flour. We also have a white flour called "Bread flour" which I think has more to do with gluten load in the flour for baking. Hope that helps! I usually mix in the whole wheat flour to make it more dense and it gives a harder crust (at least when I do it--I use it mixed in galette pastry too).
@peadar thank you Pad. The recipe is the one by Jane Pittinger that you can find with the tag Jane's-bread. I have found a translation of whole wheat flour with farina integrale. I'm going to buy it tomorrow. The bread that I posted yesterday was made part with an Italian recipe that I found on internet and part with Jane's. There are so many recipes that I found myself lost ( not only in translation).
@darylo thank you for your help. I'll try farina integrale which I suppose is less refined. I'll let you all know. It's really interesting how this photography group has become so many other things
