I’ve been making soap for over 10 years. I disagree with not using distilled water. Water varies in different areas. Distilled water is consistent no matter where you purchase it. Tap water varies in minerals and additives depending on where you live. Just use distilled water, it’s cheap and you will never have any issues with your soap.
I’ve never baked bread before (though I do have baking experience) and started off with milling my own flour. It was a struggle because I could get the taste down, but not the appearance. This video was amazing in showing what mixtures & dough needed to look and feel like. My bread came out, like you said, perfect! Thank you so much for creating this video ♥️🫶🏼
Someone else may have pointed it out but you should never pour your grain into the Wondermill without turning on the mill first. Even the grain hopper has it printed in red ink. Hope this helps keep your machine going.
Hi, I tried to follow very carefully all the instructions for this your recipe, and when I used an immersion blender, to mix the oils and the lye solution it began to foam. Any ideas as to why this happened? I'm disappointed. :( I want try it again, once I know what went wrong.
It sounds like you may have inadvertently allowed air bubbles into the mixture. You should “burp” the blender after you lower it into the mixture. Let the air escape fist. Also did you wait for the lye solution and oils to cool sufficiently? Try soaping at a cooler temp next time. Maybe 90-95 degrees…
First: you have the most soothing voice. Second: Love the recipe. Third: you say 1/2 cup of honey in video but the recipe in the description says 1/3 cup. I went with 1/2 cup.
Thank you ☺️ I’ve never heard the soothing voice compliment yet! But I’ll take it! You can go with 1/3 to 1/2. My kids like the bread to be on the sweeter side. But some people go as low as 2 Tablespoons. It’ll work in either case!
I’ve done my research over several years from various sources. I’d be happy to share what I have, but have no way of posting it here. If you message me, I’ll email you what I have.
Yep. I know that. Thank you. Someone already commented about this. I just wasn’t sure if the mic would work with all the noise. Turns out it did just fine 🙂 but in daily baking I always run it first and then pour in the grain.
Thank you for making your instruction so clear and easy to follow. I just started milling grain and you have helped me more than anyone else in a video. I hope you will do more. 😊
I don’t know why you don’t have thousands of subscribers. You are a natural at this! I’m a newbie at both grinding wheat and using a heavy duty mixer, and your video will be my “go-to” for baking great bread. I can’t wait to see what else you have to talk about 😊
Awww you’re too sweet. I was laughing when I read your comment. I didn’t really want to do this in the first place, but my kids convinced me to record this for their sake so that they could refer back to it. And that’s what I did. I’m not too worried about acquiring followers or subscribers, I just talked from my heart to my own children and nieces so that they can have a record of this when I’m gone. 😊
Thank you! I buy coconut oil wherever I can get it cheaply. It doesn’t even need to be the best quality for so baking. The one I used in the video I bought at Costco. But that’s not the least expensive option, it’s what I could get quickly at the time. Usually I’ll order mine online in a 5 gallon bucket! And it lasts for years.
You just simplify the whole procedure..👏I like the way you explain the whole procedure its very much appreciated.. plzz make more vedios with that much detail( on organic shampo, toothpaste, and organic dish washer).. thanks 👍😊 you looks such a generous mother stay happy stay blessed 😊
Excellent video and explanation on basic bread making using fresh milled flour. Do you think this recipe would work with other fresh milled flours as well? I have Emmer, Einkorn, hard red, and spelt as well as hard white.
I believe it will work for all of them really well. But try experimenting with it yourself. I’ve personally only tried the hard red and hard white. Only because I’ve never ordered Spelt or Emmer or Einkorn. My family likes the hard white better than the rest.
Great video! I really appreciate the energy you put into explaining everything so thoroughly. Do you have organic face wash, shampoo and conditioner recipes as well? Is lye organic? Yes, definitely would love some of the advanced techniques too!
Thank you. I’m currently working out a shampoo bar recipe. I’ve wanted to make one for a long time because I use a solid shampoo bar and they can get expensive! Lye is a natural product derived from wood ash. However a properly made bar of soap has no lye in it. It’s used as a catalyst for the chemical reaction that creates saponification.
Wow, you make it sound effortless! I'm finally feeling brave enough to give my new flour mill a try. Your content is so inspiring; we definitely want more from you!
Could you possibly share a copy of the information showing the fresh milled flour nutrients and vitamins compared to bleached all purpose flour, like the one at the beginning of this video? Thanks
I’m not terribly technology savvy… do you have any idea how I can attach a photograph of the pdf? There’s no such option here in the comments. Maybe I could email you a copy?
Thanks for this! I have been baking for a long time but just recently got a bread mill. My whole grain loaves have been rather heavy! I’m thinking that perhaps fresh milled flour requires a lot more kneading than the unbleached white bread flour I’m used to. Your loaves look wonderful, soft, well risen, and a nice crumb!! When I purchased my mill I also ordered 20KG of hard red wheat, but they sent me 60KG by mistake! I have a lot of hard red to work through before I can order some hard white😢😮😅!
Thank you! Yes, kneading is longer, and adding gluten, an egg and lecithin will make a noticeable difference for you! Hard red will just give you a darker loaf with a nutty flavor.
No it’s one oven. Gas cooktop and electric oven. We bought it online from z-line. But I have a total of two different ovens. One with the cooktop, and the other one, just a separate electric oven, which is the one I actually use more often because it’s smaller.
Rye is tricky. I sometimes add one cup into this recipe, and I’ve read that doing so actually prolongs the shelflife of your bread. But you can’t make 100% rye bread using this same recipe it just won’t come out the same way. Rye bread requires a completely different set of ingredients in order to work.
I’ve made 100% Ryebread before, but it’s a bit complicated and requires a lot of additional ingredients. For this reason it’s not a good beginner bread to try.
Great recipe! Thank you! Does this bread digest well? I wanted to bake sourdough breads, but they just dont come out right? PS: I have exact same pot like you, which you use for salt. I use for pepper..😊
Hi! Digestive issues are very case specific. I’m gluten intolerant, and have been baking this bread for many years for my family but not eating it myself. I was very strict with my diet. Others I know, with this issue tolerate sourdough bread just fine. Some say that if they use an ancient heirloom grain such as Einkorn then they have no issues or sensitivity. Experimenting with what your body can tolerate is the best way.
Sourdough breads are a completely different bread product that uses a very different scientific process. I can recommend the following videos that have really helped me in understanding the sourdough process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ODEIQgaft6s.htmlsi=JSnO2XmnVoq2oYeS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evOZ3GbmmAA.htmlsi=Lk1a6JM4hsoEfQ6E m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--JRSF-zDgvk.html
Sorry, I’m not ready to post anything. Just beginning my sourdough journey. Both of my daughters are sourdough experts, and a lot of my friends make beautiful sourdough loaves. Possibly in a future video….
What an amazing video! I have now watched both your videos :) I will stay subscribed and wait for other videos. Also, I see in a comment below that you mentioned Sue Becker, I will try and find her videos too.
