*I grind my own flour. I used a soft spring wheat and ground it on a pastry setting in my WonderMill grinder. If you want to buy flour instead of grind it yourself, look for a "soft" or "white" whole wheat.

**I love using fine pink Himalayan salt for the wonderful minerals and flavor. Any salt will do but if you haven't tried it, check it out! We buy ours from Amazon.com.
