How to autolyse with fresh milled flour?
We just bought the mixer and we are wanting to know do we need to autolyse like we do with other mixers because we have fresh milled flour?
We have made bread and it's pretty crumbly on the top section and we just tried making burger buns and the dough was so dense it wouldn't knead at all.
Appreciate your help!

Yes, we would recommend that you autolyse even when using the Ankarsrum when using fresh milled flour. The reason you need to autolyse is due to the moisture and protein content of the freshly milled flour and would not have anything to do with the mixer you use.
We would also recommend watching our Masterclass videos on YouTube so that you know when we recommend using the dough roller vs the dough hook and where to position the roller for proper kneading / gluten development.
