Meditating in the Doughy Process

Newbie to the site; trying to remember how I stumbled upon it...I think I was looking into grain mills and found this site highlighted in a blog. It was nice to find the "Lessons" section as well as the Handbook- so cool!

 I'm not necessarily new to bread making or grinding my own flour but...I had been making bread using Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Sometimes I use store bought flour, sometimes I used my own flour. I want to try to get to making bread without "cheating" a bit using the ABFD book. My goal is to REALLY MAKE BREAD...meditating in the entire process. In the past I've truly enjoyed ABFD recipes, I stopped because we moved our diet away from processed foods, all flours etc. but after two years we've decided we really love and miss homemade bread; and I miss the process. I would love to not buy flour so I'm looking to head further into grinding my own flours and moving forward that way, I'm just a little perplexed by the density etc and hope to work that out with the help here, in this forum and on this site.
