This is all my own fault for being at home and thinking it would lovely to do all these things now I have the time (Cracked jam making though ) | |

Plain flour is 'Mehl' or 'Haushaltmehl'.
I make bread with a mix of Ruchmehl (or Bauernmehl) and plain flour, depending on how 'rustic' I want it. More Ruchmehl = more rustic.
I would certainly encourage you to make your own bread from scratch (I'm sure you know 'Hefe' is yeast, right?) - it's therapeutic as well as gastronomically rewarding.
Try this simple but lovely Italian peasant bread:
