Our family has been traveling the US in an RV Fulltime since 2015. We have made it a point to try to seek out healthier living and try to eat local foods, whenever possible. We mill our own flour in our grain mill, brew kombucha, make sourdough, use hydroponics, an more! We do all of this in small space living, with more of a minimalist mentality. "Collect Moments, not things" But, our main focus is on Fresh Milled Flour Recipes, and how to improve your baking experience with Freshly Milled Flour. Also, we focus on how to get whole grains into your daily life. We welcome you to follow us on our journey! Thank you for Stopping By Grains In Small Places!
These are the best rolls! I actually let my bread machine do the work for me on the dough cycle. I freeze the dough balls and then take out however many I need for dinner. They also make fantastic calzones!!
I had come back to comment. I made this yesterday. My 1st attempt with fresh mill grains. It was absolutely beautiful bread that tasted so good. Thank you for your video to give me confidence I could do it.
Thank you for making this video! I’ve been making bread from freshly-milled wheat flour for several decades, but had never tried sourdough. I came across this video this summer, and I have watched it several times. Finally made my very first starter. Today is Day 12 and it looks amazing! I am eager to make my first loaf! Again, thank you!!
I milled flour for the first time two days ago. I made this bread and we were so impressed at how delicious it is. This morning I milled some soft white and used it in our favorite waffle recipe. We had to let the flour absorb the milk for 20 minutes before it thickened and folded in the beaten egg whites but, they were the best waffles yet. So glad to learn about home milling and found your fantastic recipes!
khorasan (what you call kamut) is my favorite wheat. i grow it myself also. it is the best for flat breads which is what i make. it has the highest nutrition and is easy to grow. free food 🙂
That is awesome! Yes! I LOVE Khorasan! It is wonderful for so many things! I love adding it to my hard white for breads and pizzas, and it is great in tortillas and pasta! Home grown is even better! Nice!
Thank you for this video! I made the cinnamon bread and make rolls with the rest of the dough. They was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee. My husband is not taking this very well but he better get use to it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im not sure if you are aware that the labels in the bags come off fairly easily. I pull them off and stick them onto my storage buckets. The back label has thecdate on it, so i usually try to paste it onto my vucket also.
I haven't tried taking off the labels, thanks! Currently, I have a different color lid/bucket combo so I know what grain goes in what color. But that is also a great idea so that others in my family know what is in which bucket as well. Thanks!
Hi I’m new to your channel a cousin of mine told me about it. I checked it out and was surprised to see that we travel in the exact model and year of camper that you live in. We travel for work and I recently started milling my own grain and baking . I love your recipes and knowledge on grains and how to use them. Thank you so much. Julie
Thank you soooo much for this recipe. It is perfect and the taste and texture is just right. My cookies were so pretty that they looked like something out of a magazine.
I would love to hear more about your friend as well. Also, have you had an issue with weevils? I am afraid to order grains from a lot of people because I do not have the freezer room to freeze all the grain. I receive. Any insight would be great.
I have had much interest in hearing about her story, so I will have to put it on my list. I have luckily not had an issue with weevils (Praise the Lord for that!), but I also go through my grains pretty quickly as well. 😊
Thank you for being an inspiration to transitioning to a healthier lifestyle. You make it seem easy and doable. We first started by switching to either FMF or sourdough. Now we’re slowly changing to a mostly plant based diet (The Blue Zones Kitchen). I would love to see a video on how you do small batch jams and the fruit flavored simple syrup.
I use einkorn and hard white in my sourdough. It does really well. This is the first time I've watched any of your videos. Do you live in an RV or a tiny house? My Mister and I live in a custom built (by us) tiny house (shed).
I am pregnant and know I shouldn’t be carrying 50 lb bags.. at my last azure order I did carry one but like you said, there’s always someone helpful to carry something for me!
I'm glad you ran this video with their new equipment. I ordered from them for the first time in June because I had a local pickup near me but I had to return 2 bags back to them because they were very dirty. I will probably give them a second try after watching your video.
Ok, first I’m so jealous that you can grab & pull the bag strings. I always have to cut my bags. Maybe you could show your secret sometime. Hoping you have a recipe for those chocolate cookies made with Einkorn. I bought some for our DD who has digestive issues but I’d love to try some too! We ❤❤ Azure! Been with them a year and we’re very pleased! What’s the name of your green tea again please? Thanks.
Matt opens them like a champ! I do have a recipe for the Einkorn cookies! grainsinsmallplaces.net/the-best-brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies-einkorn/ The tea is Sencha Green Tea. 😊
Wow! Nice looking sandwich bread! I am going to try your method out. I have been making sourdough breads the last few years and now I am ready to mill it seriously. Last Saturday was my first fully milled artisan loaf and it didn’t quite rise as much as I wanted but I’ll keep at it. I’ll try your trick at using the kamut or spelt in the loaf making. Excited to try this sandwich loaf! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve never tried the Sencha tea…will order next time. How do you work with the loose leaf tea? All the gadgets I’ve tried so far don’t work and usually just end up straining thru fine mesh strainer but it’s a bit of a pain to clean.
We have a tea maker that can do bags or loose leaf, we use it multiple times a day! amzn.to/3IaikRC *This post contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you!

You can get the Redmons Real Salt that is very finely powdered. I use that in baking. I use a little less because it is such a fine powder. I love Azure. I just picked up my order today. I also ordered a 5# bag of Einhorn Berries. Now I can't wait to try it in cookies.
That is good to know! Thanks! Here is that recipe for the Einkorn cookies. YUM! grainsinsmallplaces.net/the-best-brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies-einkorn/
Thank you for the links I watched a video from a wonderful lady who shared the importance of milling your own flour but she did not give any links and I have spent a lot of time trying to find good clean hard wheat berries . I just put in an order from one of your links with Guardian Grains and theirs looks amazing and they have free shipping when you spend fifty dollars
Thanks so much for the comment about Einkorn bran. I bought 15 lbs to try and have done nothing with it other than include in equal parts with 9 other grains for coarsely ground hot cereal. Which really doesn’t even tell me if I like its flavor since it’s one of several. I am going to try it in my pie crust. I’m a little nervous about its flavor but won’t know until I try! Thanks again.
One more question Kara I am gonna be using the Focaccia bread recipe to make sandwich loaves glass bread pans..do I need to double the recipe to make 2 or will there be enough dough in just one recipe to make 2 sandwich loaves?
It should give you one loaf if it's a larger 5x9 bread pan. OR you can double the recipe for two 5x9 bread pans. (If they are the smaller 4x8 pans, then yes one recipe will get 2 small loaves.) Also, with glass pans, you generally need to bake 5-10 minutes longer (Just check the internal temperature of the center of each loaf before pulling them from the oven. (Yeast loaf at least over 190*F, Sourdough loaf at least over 205*F.)
Focaccia bread? Here is my recipe for that, you can omit the yeast, and add about 1/2 cup sourdough starter 115g. grainsinsmallplaces.net/focaccia-made-with-fresh-milled-flour/
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces thank you,,yes that is the bread and wanted to use sourdough to help with sugar issues and still use fresh milled flour..thank you
we switched to the baja gold brand from redmond and it doesn't make my bread gritty at all :) so much cheaper there than anywhere else! we got 25 lbs and split with my mom.
That is great to hear! I have been enjoying the taste of it, but haven't had a chance to bake bread with it yet, hopefully this week. We have some traveling so, we have been eating off what I had in the freezer! Can't wait to try it! Thanks!
I'm thrilled to have found you. I just placed my first order with Azure and I can't wait! I grew up eating a lot of processed foods and refined sugar. God bless my mom she did the best she could with what she had and almost always put a home cooked meal on the table. I raised my children pretty much the way I was raised as far as food goes. Lost mom to cancer back in 2012 and have been learning so much about how we source our food and what we eat affects us. Would love to hear more about your friend's journey and what she has taught you. I'm new to the concept of baking with fresh milled grains and I am so impressed with your channel content.
I agree we can only do the best that we can do with what we have to work with. I have seen some interest in her story on here, so I will consider how to present that. Thanks!
Mushroom popcorn is my second favorite. My favorite is the hull less white popcorn. My husband prefers the mushroom popcorn. It makes amazing kettle corn.
Raw sugar is so different than the store bought white sugar. I did my first azure order in July n it was quite easy, other than the hour drive. People are more than willing to help as I’m handicapped from having four bone replacements.
Switched to organic golden cane sugar a few years ago and use it like regular white sugar and never saw any difference in my baking or coffee (where I primarily use sugar)
@lindahernandez8693 I love the taste of raw sugar, and will use it in place of white sugar in my recipes. Yes, I agree people are so helpful and kind there!
@@GrainsInSmallPlaces my next goal is getting a grain mill. I’ve been saving for one for a month. It will take a couple more months but I’m determined!
How do you freeze your fresh shredded cheese so it isn’t just a clump of mess when you thaw it? Love all your videos. You have taught me so much since I found your channel.
We shred it and lay it flat in the bag, or on a baking sheet (depending on how much there is) Then freeze it for an hour or so, once it is frozen it can be sealed in the bag, and it moves freely. I hope that helps!
I would love to hear more information about your friend, and any tips or suggestions she has for ways to be more preventative with our daily lives!! Also, thank you so much for sharing your Azure order with us!! The last order I received from Azure, the hard red wheat was really terrible, I think I got the bags at the end of a tote. It was full of dust, debris and lots of little pebbles!! What a chore to go through!! I have been spoiled with super clean grains from Palouse, so this was a shock to my system!! LOL I am so glad to hear that they have new cleaning equipment!! I so very much enjoy your videos and recipes!! I just made your banana chocolate chip muffins today, for the second time. Delish!!!
Awesome! I will consider that. Yes, I have heard stories from people about this. But, luckily I have not experienced it. However, this is why I like to open the bags for everyone to see. I will say with the new equipment every grain seemed super clean! Thanks!
I LOVE white whole wheat. Converted my husband and son to WW bread, using white wheat. I used to get it from my local store but they didn’t have the large size as organic, which is where I found Azure.
