Extraction Flour Bench Test Results

I've recently had the experience of working with a uniquely milled set of wheat flours. (A whole grain flour and two other Extraction Flour samples sifted from the same batch of whole grain flour.) They were milled on a Unifine rotary impact mill.  I ran each flour through my standard test bake for 100% whole flours.   I substituted 98% for unbleached white flour in our bakery's standard Sourdough Baguette formulation at 78% hydration.  (The 2% unbleached white was the portion in the starter that seeded the leavening of the dough.)
