Since I actually do need bread I chickened out on the 50/50 thing. I used more like 20% whole wheat.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Adding some gluten powder can allow a higher whole wheat flour content. I suspect your local grocery stores of questionable quality probably don’t sell it out of bulk bins but Bob’s Red Mill does sell packages that can be ordered online.
My wife and I are gluten allergic and we get some stuff from Bob’s Red Mill. If at all possible, try to get it at a local store. Online prices and shipping were prohibitive, but there are a few stores that sell Bob’s stuff. The Kroger affiliate has a good selection here (Southern Oregon). YMMV.
I’m glad that this time it worked better.
Just a thought…
I notice that on the mill there are three settings, course, bread and pastry. When you used the mill was the mill set on bread? And if so, by setting the mill on pastry the grind setting (which is finer then the bread setting), wouldn’t that get you a finer grind and make the dough easier to work with?
Yeah, next time I’ll try a finer setting.
Could you pass it back through the mill after the first grind???
I don’t think it would flow through the hopper very well, but I suppose it’s possible.
