There's a source of local wheat in NH! I met the farmer from Moor Farm at the Rye Winter Farmers' Market. He had freshly ground Red Fife wheat for sale with some delicious bread samples that totally sold me. The fresh ground wheat bread was so tasty so I definitely bought a bag made one of the recipes he shared. I'll also mention that Peter Allen of Newfield's Own Produce is sourcing some Red Fife wheat from Canada and will be selling a bit of it at the upcoming Newmarket Farmers' Market. While not local, it will be freshly ground, so more "slow food" than local. Here's the recipe for the delicious bread made with wheat from Moor Farm:
Red Fife Wheat Flour Bread
1 3/4 cup water
5 cups whole wheat flour
3 T honey or molasses
2 T dry milk
2 tsp sea salt
2 T vital wheat gluten
2 T butter
2 tsp active dry yeast
Prepare dough by bread machine or by hand. I made my dough in the machine and it turned out great. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
This produced a dense wheat bread that tasted great slathered in butter!
