I have to admit I learned the basic bread recipe a long time ago when everyone was getting bread machines. My first machine eventually passed away but I recalled seeing an old Cajun woman turning and kneading dough on her kitchen table and I thought, I can replace the bread machine. So I still used that recipe except I had more freedom to make rolls, beignets etc. I have done whole wheat instead.
Lately I’ve been thinking about getting a mill and buying some wheat to make my own flour.

if you have a bread machine you can usually set it to stop after the first rise and 2nd knead and then you can take the dough out and do what you want for the final shaping and 2nd rise. i did a lot of recipes this way since i didn't much like how the bread machine finished loaves. i'm sure though that things have improved since the dark ages when i had that bread machine (a gift from a friend who wasn't using it).
