Thanks for the scone link- made them today (with half milled einkorn/milled soft wheat). Made the pumpkin version since that’s what we had in the pantry. So good! Perfect warm treat on a cold day!
Love this Becca! I've been milling my own grains at home for several years (thank you to my Mama for the grain grinder!!). At first I was intimidated by using the flour as I had no recipes for bread or sourdough using freshly ground grains. So I just dove in and started experimenting. I now use Kamut, Khorsan, Emmer, Einkorn, Spelt, Red Fife and also the regular red and white wheat varieties. I feel so much better, and I also feel good about baking cakes and cookies for my kids knowing they are getting so much more nutrition and lower glucose spikes.
Oh, Becca… Thank you so much for this!! This is perfect timing. I was trying to convey to my husband that we really need to get a grain mill and for me to start using that to make homemade bread!!💜💜
We were so very fortunate to to find out that we actually have a bakery local to use that make some varieties of their daily breads and some of their muffins, cookies and pinwheels using this 100% whole wheat flour that the bakery mills in house everyday and it has become our favorite source of sandwich bread it’s so incredibly hearty because their ingredients for their honey whole wheat are nothing but 100 % fresh milled whole wheat, filtered water, honey, yeast, salt, we can freeze it or use it within 7 days and it’s delicious every time we toast it our whole kitchen that just smells amazing, all that said what I’ve noticed by eating this way as much as we can is that since we have really started getting more fiber protein and fats with this type of food among other more Whole Foods in each meal (myself especially ) we very rarely if ever snack or feel the desire to buy snack food anymore
Have you had interest in flaking your own oats? From a nutrition standpoint is it better to flake your own rather than buying sprouted oats say from Costco? I’ve been curious!
I apologize if this is weird, but growing up my mom made the simplest recipes and they were ridiculously good. One of them being pancakes. She would take buttermilk, flour, baking soda and sugar.... That's it. Nothing else. To this day I still prefer that recipe over any other pancake recipe, and my kids absolutely love it! (We eyeball everything, but it's about 2 cups buttermilk, 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and about 2-3 tbs sugar) You might need to tweek the four or buttermilk based on consistency. I hope you try it sometime. And let me know what you think.
Always look forward to your videos because I always take something away. Sneaking in beef liver powder into all the ground beef recipes 😆 for example. I scored a grain mill off marketplace after watching your video a while back. Curious…How do store your bread? Again thank you for these helpful videos
Hi becca! Help! I can’t find any info about the phytic acid in einkorn. I’ve read phytic acid isn’t good for you because it doesn’t allow your body to absorb minerals. My question is, because you are milling your own grains at home, and thus getting all the nutrients from the flour, does this have any effects on the amount of phytic acid? Does it stay the same? Or do you have to sprout the grains and dry them out and THEN mill them?
I’ve been ordering white spelt flour from amazon… I would love to order fresh grains from white spelt & grind it myself! Do you have any recommendations where to buy the white spelt grains from? Ty
It does indeed go slowly! But not a dealbreaker! If you’ve already got the Kitchenaid, it’s a high quality, very affordable option. I got mine for $114 around the holidays.
Could the autolysis time for sourdough slow down the breakdown of the grains after being exposed to oxygen? I have been watching several videos on this recently and am curious about that.
Sue Becker addressed this on the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast recently and she said that the fermentation process causes the freshly milled grain to not break down like it normally does.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. $4 for you to spend a ton of time and money to make something fresh vs the most expensive store bought bread you can get. Most loaves of bread cost the same amount as your homemade option. You’re trying to sell something that doesn’t give any cost savings
THANK YOU!!! I so appreciate you going deeper into this topic!

Can you please go into all of the different wheats. What would you buy and for what?
This video is so great, I love all the information that u give us. Just a great video - thankyou so much 😍❤️😍❤️
Love freshly milled flour content! Where did you get your storage tubs with the special lids?? Thanks!

Hi Becca! I’m having a hard time finding wheat berries that are actually cheaper than flour. Especially the organic ones.
how did you do your hair? i love that it's voluminous, bouncy and curly!
She uses the Dyson air wrap. She really does have the best hair ever!
Also doesn't what you said about the enzymes mean that if you freeze the freshly ground flour it will also retain the nutrients?

I thought it was the contact with water that stops the oxidation of the flour? Not the high temps.
So good

Where did you get your buckets and lids?
I get my food grade buckets and Gamma Lids from Azure Standard.
@ I couldn’t find the buckets from Azure!!
Hi, KitchenAid has an attachment to mill grains. I am wondering if you have an opinion on that?
No personal experience but it seems to be very mixed reviews! Also that it goes veryyy slowly

@ElisaZac89 thank you! I thought she said that when I saw her on a podcast, but I couldn't remember.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong but the fresh milled is always to wet and doesn’t rise well
Let your dough sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquids after you mix but before you knead it.
