I love how you kept the video even though you made a mistake. Not only demonstrates that everyone can make them, but that it's okay, too, and easily recovered from!👍
I am going to try this recipe, this coming Friday, November 11th, 2022. I've been milling since June 2021. I love making fresh made bread. The health benefits are amazing! All praise to our Heavenly Father! Bread of Life!
Yesterday was the first time I milled my own grain and followed your bread recipe exactly as instructed. It turned out perfect and my family loved it. Thank you! I am encouraged to continue with freshly milled flour.
I made this today. Eating my first slice as I make this comment. I went with 1/2 hard white and 1/2 hard red. I also used lecithin. This bread is DELICIOUS! I am brand new at milling. This is my second time making bread with milled flour and I feel like a professional, thanks for all of your videos!!! ❤ (My first bread was a Becker recipe which was delicious too. But this one is better)
I’ve been a bread baker but I have never done it from the beginning with me grinding my own flour. So I am so glad that I have found you you’ve been a wealth of information thank you for doing these videos. I’m feeling more confident doing my own flour thank you. I did watch your pancake video and I think you and I may have the same oven. Mine is also propane has the griddle in the middle but mine is white or yours is black. And I love my old oven. 🥰
I’m so thankful and thrilled these videos have helped you 😄 If you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! As far as my oven, it’s not “old” it’s just one that doesn’t need electricity at all. It’s battery powered for the pilot light. Quite handy when there is no power, but it is a very basic oven and doesn’t regulate temp as well.
YAY! Learned about your channel on FB in the Becoming a Linenite group where we love all things linen and milling our own grain! 🌾🌾🌾 It's so hard to find a variety of channels with fresh milled flour recipes. So glad to have found yours! 😊🍞🥖
Girrrrl!! you were my missing link! I'm just learning about all this. Came across Breadbeckers 4 weeks ago, started my Joseph's storage room. Got my wonder mill and Ank Assistant in the last 2 weeks and could not figure out WHY the bread wouldn't get higher then the pan!! Found you and been binge watching down to your fabulous bread video and tonight after work I could not wait no longer to try it out. It's in the oven as I type this, at 25 minutes...and I was amazed just putting it in the loaf pans....I am in awe watching it thru my oven window. You rock and I thank our Father in heaven above for leading me to you, and for your knowledge and for your serving, sharing heart. Your husband is one fortunate man!! Much love from Tn!
I am so glad I figured out how to leave a message & hopefully pictures ...I'm so grateful for having you & Sue Becker recommended to me and my family. You are brilliant & your recipes are a complete success 🙌 Thank you & blessings 🙌 Cindee
Oh my heavens! My Grandma used to tell me to ‘trust your gut’ (aka intuition). I have been failing at my bread with my freshly ground wheat. I kept thinking, it’s ready now, but punched that dough down and shaped my loaves. THANK YOU!! My bread is once again a success!
I have been grinding my wheat and making bread ever since I saw this video three months ago. My husband and sons go absolutely nuts over it. So do my friends.They get so disappointed when there is no bread on the counter. I have a kitchen aid grinder attachment and dough hook and its so far working very well for me. Thank-you so much for sharing this bread recipe, it is the absolute best!
My husband and I milled our first flour and made this recipe, this afternoon. It is perfect and delicious - this is going to be a happy change for us. Thank you!!!
You are a life saver, can not say it enough but thank you, thank you….I purchased 50 lbs of hard red wheat and soft then I made my first loaf and OH MY GOODNESS, it was not at all the same as using all purpose flour, but your video helped me. I’m going back to watch all your videos. Today I tried your recipe and my loafs came out delicious and huge. So happy I found you.
I've had my grain mill for 6 months and every recipe I've tried so far has failed. I tried your recipe yesterday and got my first good loaf of bread! It turned out just like yours, fluffy, tall, so perfect. And the flavor was amazing! Thank you so much!
Oh my Goodness! I have been trying to get my fresh milled bread to turn out better than a crumbly hockey puck for almost 2 years! This worked great! I don't have a mixer or an electric mill - I'm trying to perfect it without the use of electricity, since we either won't have any due to the solar flare or it'll be too costly to afford here soon. LOL I do have a hand mill, Wonder mill JR., and my own hands I used to knead. (I think that was the trick). It has taken a bit to get my hand mill stones ground down to where they grind the grain well. I used to have to send it through a couple times before it would be fine enough. This is strenuous work, but if you are aggravated at something or someone, it can be a great release of pinned up stress. So instead of getting angry at the situation, you can just say "I'm gonna go bake me some bread!". (And say it with conviction! LOL) Or just a good work out for upper body! LOL Thank you sooooo much! I'm so excited! I want to try it for pizza dough next!!
I just ordered a Mockmill grain mill. I’m excited to start baking healthy baked goods. Today, I stumbled on one of your videos and I’m hooked…I’ll be binge watching a ton of your videos. I’m hoping you share your grains and milling process. Thank you! 💞 Incidentally, I’ve subscribed and hit the bell..I don’t want to miss a thing…lol
Lol WELCOME! Glad to have you here and I’m thrilled you’re starting your journey with freshly milled grains 😄 I started this channel because I knew many people were starting this and I knew I didn’t have much info when I started. So hopefully this can be one of the stops people make to get info!
I started milling wheat 2 weeks ago and couldn’t get my bread to rise. Your tips for proofing the yeast and folding the dough made a huge difference. I baked an edible loaf of bread today!!! I still need more practice but I’m on the right track now. Thank you for the great video!
So, 15 months after I first watched this video, my comment is FINALLY, a helpful video for home milled whole wheat bread! Thank you for creating the video for hand kneading as it has worked well for our hard red/hard white/spelt sandwich bread and buns for over a year. We had the grains and Mockmill for some time but this video vastly helped the final result, especially the fold & roll before placing in a USA pan. We saw health benefits rather quickly and hubby purchased an Ankarsrum which arrived today. Hurray! Now we have a new learning curve. Blessings Felicia. 🙂
I just made it today. Thought I'd have all this time for the bread to rise while I ran an errand and sure enough it exploded by 30 minutes so my husband popped it into the oven. The bread is out of this world delicious. Commercial flour who?
This is the first time I made wheat bread and the first time my bread loaf was suitable to slice for sandwiches! Now there's really no reason I need to buy bread from the store
This is such an awesome never fail recipe that I decided to try it using fresh ground Ezekiel flour. I made 4 1lb loaves like I do with the wheat. It did not rise as high but is still delicious! Moist nutty and a little honey sweet. Thank you so so much for this and all your recipes!
I have been enjoying this bread for several months now. It is the quickest and simplest recipe and so good! I saw that a lot of bread makers used oil instead of flour when shaping their lives. I tried this and it made this delicious bread even better! The texture is moister and softer. Best peanut butter sandwich ever! Also, I tried using molasses instead of honey and that was also very good. Ty for sharing this great recipe.
After 2 failures from other sources found this video. Followed it step by step and I now have 2 beautiful loaves resting. Haven’t cut into them yet but they look wonderful. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I couldn't believe how much my loaf rose.My first really good 100% whole wheat loaf. Now if I could manage a good 100% brown sourdough my life would be complete!!
Made this today! Super delicious. I broke the rules and cut it immediately and ate most of it (with help). Sooooo good. I made a cumin lime olive oil dressing to go with and it was amazing (with fresh ground cumin seed haha)
I’ve just learned how to use fresh milled flour. I’ve been making bread for forty years or more. I’ve made your bread recipe and your fluffy pancake recipe. They turned out awesome!! Your videos have really helped a lot!! I’ve even experimented with cookies!! Thank you!!
I have attempted to to try making bread (fresh milled) in my new top of the line bread machine but just dozens of flops. Tried your recipie with a bread pan and it turned out great. My dough was sticky but I ran out of flour and didn't mill any more. I thought for sure I ruined it but i pressed on...still turned out great. Thank you for the recipe
Yay!! I’m so thrilled!!! You should be able to do this recipe in a bread machine. Just cut it by half so it’s only one loaf and add your liquids in first to your bread machine, then the rest 😄 That’s all I know about bread machines. I know each one differs. Glad this one worked out!
I had commented the other day that my loaves rose to much and what seemed to be to quickly. So I decided to try again because the bread really did turn out well it just was twice the size of my pans. Second time I cut recipe in half but still made 2 loaves and it turned out PERFECT! LOVE this recipe!
Well were do I start. I got my mill last week and today I made your recipe. It is fantastic !!! Beautiful texture, the rise was really great and it taste fantastic. Thanks so much can't wait to make another batch. SO FAST TO MAKE . From Prince Edward Island, Canada
My loaves rose so much I was afraid they'd run over the sides. When I went to dump them out of the pans, which had been oiled, the first loaf split in half so I now have a top and a bottom. I went back to your recipe and checked and you really did say 2 1/2 tablespoons of yeast! That was a real surprise as it's usually 2 1/2 teaspoons. I understand how you get a big rise in just 20 minutes.
lol yes it does rise super fast! You can certainly back off on the yeast, it would just rise a bit slower. As far as it breaking, I have had that happen only when I didn't oil the pan enough.
Since I used a spray on oil, I've decided that next time I'll use butter so the dough won't cause it to spread thinner and cause sticking. Also, my kitchen was very warm.
@@quilterdunndunn8101 I always have success with liquid lecithin to oil the pan. It only takes a thin film. I didn't warm the pan first so today was a thick slather and it can taste it. But it's all good. The bread popped right out. I probably just need a new bottle of it, too.
This was so incredibly helpful Felicity, thank you SO much! You have no idea, I did all the research to find wholesome wheat berries and containers to put them in, saved for months to finally get and then I was like.... Where are all the recipes??? 😂 I finally found your link through someone on Instagram and she tagged your website and I had to search you separately on RU-vid cause gosh darn it I'm saving your info! Lol! Thank you for sharing the rewards of all your trial and error, I appreciate you!
This may have been made over a year ago but i just used it today and it's perfect. It's hard to find a recipe or a video for freshly milled flour but this is top notch.
Yay! Glad to hear it's still working for everyone. I haven't changed it at all myself. I still use this recipe, I now just make THREE loaves at once instead of two ha
Felicia! This morning, I milled fresh flour for the first time, followed this recipe, and have 2 gorgeous loaves to show for it! So satisfying and much credit to you 💜 Thanks for putting out this content with a Biblical perspective. Note: I made the recipe as published and as the dough was kneading in my Kitchenaid mixer, it kept wanting to creep over the dough hook collar. Do you think if I reduced the recipe by about 10%, that would solve that issue? (So I don't have to mix and prepare two loaves separately).
Hi I’m looking to get my grain mill n grains. I never heard of doing it this way. How did your bread taste? Much better I bet. I have the kitchen aid mixer too. Thank you
I’m a newbie and have made this recipe twice now and it’s turned out delicious each time. I appreciate how you give us the measurements of the grains to grind in addition to the flour portions because sometimes the math is just too much for my brain to calculate!! 😂
I know this video is older but I just successfully made two loaves using your recipe and after milling my first batch of grain….I took 1/4tsp of yeast away since we live at a higher altitude…and they turned out PERFECTLY! Thank you so much for the recipe and the great tutorial!
Reading all the comments has been super helpful . You've helped with different issues we've had & troubleshooting! Fantastic help! I'll try again but with 100% hard red. Thank you for all the tips in the comments.
I just found your channel.... Girl you are awesome!!! I tried your recipe... The very first time I ever ground my own wheat and made bread....I just took my first bite...wooowee!! Fabulous!!! I was so worried it wouldn't turn out for me...I see what you mean about my kitchen aid... I'm looking into buying a bosh... Good Lord willing
@@GrainsandGrit this all must be a God situation...I just found a like new Bosh with the bakers package for almost half the price of new!!! The lady was so sweet and kind!!! I feel so blessed!!! I really believe this will help my health!!! Lord knows I've tried everything else....
Made my first loaf yesterday using Mockmill 200, Ankarsrum mixer, 1/2 hard red, 1/2 hard white. Came out great and taste wonderful!!! Thank you for such a great recipe!
I have been baking completely whole wheat, fresh milled, for my family since 1997. I'm still glad for your recipes. They have all been great, including this bread. Thanks!
I can't thank you enough for this video. I've been making bread for years and its always hit or miss. You helped to answer a question of mine as to why my loaves sometimes fall flat, so I will definitely head your advice. Also, I have been wanting to make bread from whole grains and have purchased some Hard Red Wheat and will be giving it a try this weekend. Thanks again for this video!
I finally made your simple whole wheat bread recipe, I must say it was a great success. I’ve been milling for about 30 yrs & have always made a 50/50 bread. Well not anymore. I grew up in Florida & know how the humidity plays with your bread, I now live in Utah, 4600 ft above sea level & that s a different way of making bread. Whole wheat is the only way to go, thanks for your delicious recipe
❤❤❤ I used your recipe last night for my first ever freshly milled grain recipe. My entire family couldn’t stop eating it with butter and honey. Delicious!
I made this this afternoon with freshly milled Kamut. I am almost in tears! Lol This is literally the best bread I have ever had in my entire life! I was going to serve it to my grandkids with butter and honey, but we didn't need the honey at all. It was amazing. The kids scarfed it down! I did make one mistake that you mentioned and slightly undercooked it. The center was a little doughy. But that's ok... we'll get it just right next time.... and it was so yummy we ate the doughy part too!! Can't thank you enough. You've helped us take a huge step in our quest to get off store bought bread!
I'm glad I found your channel. Currently I make keto bread in a bread machine, but I want to also make regular bread from milled grain in the oven. I like the keto bread but it requires a lot of specialty ingredients that may get too expensive or hard to find and don't have much shelf life. My previous attempts using whole wheat flour yielded dense and barely risen loaves. I was sure using some milled at home would be even worse.
Absolutely agree perfect! Used 1/2 hard red and 1/2 hard white. Yummy..... only thing, sorry only waited 1/2 hour, you are right should have waited the full hour. That's ok it was worth it.
The best whole grain video i have seen! I have been making bread and kind of milling my own wheat for years. I never really had good results the whole wheat. I can't wait to try these tricks! Thank you so much for your time!
I am looking forward to trying your recipe. I don't have a grain mill yet but I use Bob's Red Mill organic whole wheat for now. I am trying to decide which grain mill will be best for me. When I want a slice of fresh baked bread right from the oven, I slice off a piece then turn the loaf on its cut end onto the countertop or a large plate so that it does not lose its moisture and heat out of the cut end. I have always had good luck doing it that way.
Finally!!! Just made this from hard red wheat. I use a Nutrimill Harvest. Anyway - bread rose ands is soft and perfect!! I have tried several recipes before - ended up with squished dense bread. Thank you!
I made this bread and your chocolate chip cookies. My family loved the bread and cookies! Quick question: I was about to buy wheat berries from Azure Standard, but it said to make sure to sort and "rinse" the wheat berries. Do you rinse your wheat berries before grinding them?
Oh my goodness, I can't wait to try your recipe! I have only been making bread for about 6-7 months and, while it has a nice crumb, it never gets sandwich bread size but my recipe only calls for 6-6.5 cups of flour and 1 tbsp of yeast! This might be a game changer! Thank you!
I made great bread today. Milled the grain. Milled it finer this time. Used the Kitchen Aide with bowl-lift to mix and knead. Had to stop and go mill another couple cups of wheat (in the basement). Divided the dough into three pans as mine are 8.5 x 4.5 x 2. Weighed out it was about 1 pounds 7 ounces each. It never did pull away from the sides, but I decided it was soft and elastic enough, just a little sticky. Just shaped with a bit more flour. Let it rise in the pans in the oven after warming the oven about 30 seconds on low. Placed a bowl of hot water on the lower rack, therefore no need to cover the bread. Rose beautifully and baked wonderfully and didn't fall. One of our grandsons is here today and he had a slice of not waiting to cool with butter. He liked it. I had butter and molasses. Too thick to toast. But I will be slicing thinner and toasting tomorrow. THANK YOU ❤
Thank you so much for the step by step instruction! I just made this recipe using freshly milled flour for the first time and the loaves turned out beautifully. Not gonna lie, I couldn't wait till they were cool to try a slice... delicious!
lol it's hard for me too to wait. Sometimes I just have to sacrifice the loaf to have it nice and hot with butter! Mmmm nothing better! So glad this recipe works for you!
Thank you!! I have been grinding wheat for years but gave up on making loaves and bought the Zojirushi bread machine. Mine were always Very dense. I made your recipe yesterday. Thank you
I just made your recipe and the bread is amazing . I have tried half white flour , adding potato flake , vital wheat gluten and this so by far the best . Thank you for sharing your knowledge !!!
I made this loaf today, and just had my first slice off the end while it still had a bit warmth to it. This is good bread! And it's sturdy enough for a sandwich, which is what I wanted. I've mostly just made whole wheat challah in the past, and I always used diastatic malt (homemade), which made it rise beautifully. I actually cheated with your recipe and added a little to that too, but next time I'm gonna make it without it. I also halved the recipe and used my Zo bread machine for the dough, removing it before it went into a second rise. I think this might be my new best bread recipe. I'd like to make the full recipe and use my Bosch Compact to mix it, but I'm cooking for just myself and would have a hard time using all that bread before it stales. As it is, I don't know if I can even use up the one loaf in time, as I'm trying to cut back on bread due to digestion issues. Just thought I'd see how things go with this bread before I totally call it quits.
Thank you for sharing this simple recipe for freshly milled whole wheat berries!! I am new to milling grains and have been looking for a simple recipe for months. I made this today and it turned out wonderful on my first attempt. My husband loved it too! I do not have an electric mixer so I made this bread by hand, still checked my dough with the window pane test. I also used coconut oil.
Wonderful! So glad this recipe worked for you! And glad to know coconut oil works. I don't think I have ever used that before personally, but good to know someone has used it successfully :-)
Glad this video was helpful. I just uploaded an updated version of this that may be even more helpful :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V2MMwaJ9Mjg.html
Thank you so much. I made the BEST bread I’ve ever made using your recipe and tips. Proofing the yeast made all the difference and I never, before, knew what that meant. Until today, I though it meant to test a small amount of yeast to make sure it was still active. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks Earl! I think I replied to one of your other comments, but you can definitely mix a hard wheat with rye. I would start with maybe 2 cups of rye flour and 7-8 cups of the hard flour in this recipe and go from there. Rye can be a bit dense.
I’ve been making homemade for 25+ yrs. I’ve never milled my own flour. There seems to be a few differences, tho not many. I’m super excited to try this. I have been. I just found you last week and then through you I found bread beckers.
Hi there ! I have the Bosch Compact which I love. My main goal is to make my bread by hand. I have purchased hard white berries and the Wonder Junior Deluxe grain mill, which I haven’t opened yet. My main reason for wanting to learn to grind my own wheat is in the case of a grid down situation, I will be able to do that. We never know when a crisis may be upon us and that’s very concerning to me. I’m all about having electric gadgets though. I have an Ankarsrum mixer, the small Bosch which I’ve made 3 loaves in, 2 different Bamix immersion blenders, etc. but with no electricity, I’d be out of luck. So I’m planning on diving into the manual bread making world. Great video and thank you for sharing your expertise !! I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos. 😊
