Loved your technique and your lovely disposition Joy. Listening to your directions and how you manage your time makes me wonder why it took me so many years as an adult to realize how awesome mothers are and how much you all teach us. My mom has passed several years ago and I wish I would have told her how much I appreciated her. Thank you for this video and how much mothers are under appreciated 🙏
@homemakingwithjoy . Glad to see it. I am watching all the FMF videos I can hoping to get started in the near future. I don't have Littles anymore but I am gone from my home over 12 hours a day for work. Trying to work out the details of how.
Something that may be helpful for everyone watching this with the autolyse part, I have been baking with fresh milled flour for several years now and if you combine all of the ingredients except the salt and the yeast and let it sit once it’s mixed for a good 45 minutes to an hour, then you add in the salt and the yeast and knead it to windowpane, you will get a fantastic texture.
@@jessicajohanson1 I just took a trip to Florida. Decided to see what would happen if I mixed just the water with the wheat before I left for the airport. I placed it in 2 plastic bags along with the recipe so if my bag was searched they didn’t go crazy. When I got to destination I added the rest, finished out as usual. It was perfect. Do not know if it would work all of the time but did this time.
I make fresh ground flour bread every two days. Switch to silicone pans and you will NEVER have an issue with sticking again. Though I wouldn’t recommend letting it cool at all in the pan. Pull it out, set it on the cooling rack. I also cool bread on its side. It prevents the loaves from deforming. Especially if you let it rise to where it should be before cooking. It will be REALLY soft coming out of the oven.
My favorite bread pan is cast iron. I season them five times and then I always use butter or lard to grease them before adding in the dough. If you love crust, they make the best crust. The bread just falls out and I just wipe the pans out and store for the next time. I like the wet tea towel trick.
Hello Rachel! Last night, with very little time left before my husband got home, I made this bread. I've been milling my flour for months now, but have struggled to make a nice soft loaf. My family LOVED it. We had the bread with Brunswick Stew and it was the perfect pair! Thank you for your demonstration of the window pane test and the clear instructions. This is now our favorite bread recipe. As a bonus, I get 3 loaves, so I will only have to bake twice per week. Going to try the bagels this weekend!!! Thank you so much. God bless you and your family. 🙂
FANTASTIC video and I love that you didn't do a lot of chit chat and get right to the point. Thank you for also not using background music like so many others so. I just found your channel and will be excited to watch more video's!
I just love watching your videos! My husband has gluten issues so am grateful to learn your tips (not brave enough to try wheat yet but when we are, we’ll use your tips). BTW, I use your yogurt video to make yogurt weekly and have shared with my daughters. You’re obviously doing something so right because your skin is flawless and gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your wholesome ways (I just made turkey stock from the Christmas turkey bones) and your precious family! Many blessings!
I love your wonderful ability to articulate your techniques. You are great at explaining your techniques. I can’t wait to make my first loaf this afternoon. This will be my first loaf of bread to make. I have just began milling hard red wheat berries. My first was making my pizza dough. Again you are awesome.
What a kind compliment! I always tell people that the goal of my channel is to create content that I wish I had when I started milling--the more detail the better!
Excellent video...........I wish I had a dollar for every time my bread stuck to the pan. Your bread looks top notch. Your technique for shaping your dough is very slick.
Look beautiful! Two things I learned … I like how you form your sandwich loaves and also letting it cool on its side. Thank you for those tips! One thing I learned from sourdough baking was called a saltolyse. You let the fresh milled flour, salt, and water rest together for a full hour. Then I work in the dissolved yeast and honey. Just fantastic flavor and I think it makes final bread softer.
Thank you so much for this video! Bought a grain mill back in 2020 and have used fresh ground flour with not so great results unless I mixed it with bread flour. I tried this bread today (cut the recipe in half because only 2 of us) and used your techniques to determine when it was kneaded enough and cooling on the side. So helpful! Turned out delicious, soft and pillowy 💕
Im brand new to your channel and milling my own flour. In fact, I just received my first order of a variety of wheat berries: hard, soft and ancient. Ive made my own bread, off and on, for years; consistently, for the past couple years. I'm learning so much new information by digging a little deeper! Question: howcdo you store your bread? I make 3-4 loaves per week. I look forward to watching more of your videos! I love your quick and informative style, yet you're informal and friendly. And, you're beautiful, if you don't mind me saying! Im a mom to 7 children, now grown. ...13 Grands at the moment. I so get the "doing what you can when you can" which, by the way, is a skill that translates well into retired life. Blessings to you and yours, Dear Lady!
Welcome to milling your own flour and congratulations on a beautiful family! I appreciate your kind words. :) I have some Tupperware that fit my loaves well. If they're full or dirty, I use plastic bags. I buy the freezer kind so that I can wash and reuse them. I will also freeze loaves of bread in them if I can get ahead.
@homemakingwithjoy , I've been using the freezer bags and re-using. Never thought of plastic containers! 🤔 Recently, I pondered the wax coated fabric as a storage option. ...my BFF & I have thought about making our own. I might still give that a try. ...unless someone else has tried it and comments it to be unsatisfactory.
I'm so glad i found your video! I appreciate the step by step and your simplicity in explanations! I'm so excited to start baking my own bread. I'm waiting on my mockmill to arrive!
You go girl, I joined to try all. This bread is wonderful, just love it and so darn easy, thank you so much. Going to your web site to see what I want to try…keep up the good work..
I just came across your video. I just finished making this and I am so impressed. I have been trying to learn how to make bread with White wheat and just could never get it right. You made this so easy to follow. I did have to knead mine for around ten minutes. Thank you so much for posting your video!!!
I made this recipe today. It turned out delicious. I did add some lecithin(sunflower) and some gluten because my husband wants a more 'fluffy' bread. I am so pleased with how it turned out. FMF is definitely a learning process. Thanks for your videos
Thank you for taking the time to show and describe what you are doing. I have made bread many times but I am getting ready to mill for the first time, so I appreciate your explanation!❤
Aww, I'm so happy you made this video! I am going to make bread today so I'm going to try this, thank you! Your baby is so sweet! Have a great day...Dora
I try to let mine cool about 15 minutes before trying to get them out, Using a hamburger spatula works really well to loosen the loaves. I like to see how others do their bread, thank you for helping others.
Glad I found you Joy! Your video is delightful and I very much enjoyed watching you make your beautiful basic sandwich bread from freshly milled flour. I am just beginning my journey with freshly milling flour and so far, enjoying it very much! Thank you for your good example! God bless you and your beautiful family!!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video; I try to make the resources that I wanted when I started milling my own flour. 😊 I hope it continues to go well for you.
I want to shout out to you, Rachel (is that your name?) 🤔🤔 Today was my first time baking bread, and it turned out so beautiful and delicious! I so appreciate the recipe on the drop down - you absolutely ROCK!! God bless you for helping us along this wonderful new way of life! 😘
Yes, my name is Rachel. :) I am THRILLED to read your comment. I always tell people that my goal in making these videos is to provide the help that I desired when I started my freshly milled flour journey. Happy baking!
Joy, THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL. Super recipe. Have a copy. Will make soon. Thank you for sharing. Neat your child wants to help. I remember the days my son did that. Aria
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the bread as much as my family does. I try to let my kiddos help as much as possible--some day they will be able to make it for us! 🙂
just got a Joydeem dough maker and was looking for a good test recipe. I ground fresh flour and followed your path. Got 3 medium loaves. Think 2 would have been too much for my pans, but these were a little small. But the crumb was perfect, and they are nice and soft. Tastes wonderful. Thank you!
YOU CAN ALSO COOL YOUR LOAVES BY PUTTING THEM ON THE LOAF PANS THIS WORKS WELL ALSO IF U COAT THE TOPS WITH ALIGHT COAT OF SHORTENING OR MARGERINE AND PUT A TEA TOWEL OVER THE LOAVES THIS MAKES A NICE SOFT CRUST
I am so glad that you liked it! I have never tried it for pizza. This recipe does double as a cinnamon roll recipe, though. If you check out my channel, I have another freshly milled pizza crust recipe that you might like. :) Thanks for watching!
This is the first video of yours I have watched and I was very pleased and subscribed. Thank you so much for your detailed explanations! I have a Komo Mio grain mill and have been trying to make a nice soft loaf of sandwich bread with freshly milled flour and haven’t been successful yet. I will try this recipe, thanks so much! I wonder if you might be of Swedish descent? Your beautiful, finely sculpted features remind me of the artist Carl Larsson’s children that he painted. I love his artwork!
I am so glad that you found this video helpful as you bake with freshly milled flour. :) It can be quite a learning curve. I am mostly German, but appreciate your compliments! I look forward to checking out some of his artwork. Thanks for watching!
This video was so fantastic! So many small tips that will really help my bread baking. I wonder if my Kitchen Aid mixer can handle 6 cups of flour though?? Maybe I could just half the recipe?
I think most people with a Kitchen Aid split the dough: they either only make half or only knead half at a time. I have one friend who put the whole recipe into her Kitchen Aid and called with the wild west because her mixer would bounce all over the place with all of that dough. 🤣
Thank you for this recipe. I have a couple questions. How hot does the water need to be, I don't use microwaves, so would have to warm the water on the stove. Also, how long do you let it sit to absorb the moisture?
Just getting starting in milling and baking wheat bread (at 74) Have you tried screening the bran out or maybe adding a little gluten to change the loaf?
Funny he brought up Goldilocks. As you were putting the lives into the oven, that story came to mind. This one is too big, oh and this one is too small, but this one is juuust right. Your loaves are beautiful thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I mix all ingredients EXCEPT for the yeast and 1/2 cup of water. This way I can let my fmf dough rest for longer. Then I add the rest of the water and yeast and knead. It works every time.
This video popped up as a suggestion for me last night and I just ignored it because I already bake with freshly milled grains. I have had my milk for around 14 years now! However, the video popped up again this morning, so I decided to give your recipe a try. It was super simple and looks beautiful. It just came out of the oven, so I haven’t tasted it yet. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
My first batch turned out super dense. I made the mistake of not trusting the process when my Bosch was mixing and saw the dough was sticky and kept adding flour. My second batch I let the Bosch do its thing for almost 10 minutes and didn’t add extra flour. The dough was perfect and so was the bread!
Just watched your video. Thank you for sharing! I'm new to bread making, wanting to make some healthier choices for my family. But I don't have my own mill yet. So I'mm just trying to find the best quality flour and ingredients I can for the time being. How many cups of "milled" flour would you say is in your recipe? I know you said 6 cups of berries...but what does that yield?
Nice video. I'd like to ahare a few of my soft-fluff-sandwich-loaf from-fresh-milled-flour tips. Perhaps the best tip, is to bolt your flour, removing some of the bran. Just run the fresh milled flour through a fine kitchen sice. The bran is wonderful in muffins and so many things. Next autolayze without the yeast. Then as you start to knead in your mixer, add one egg the yeast and process for a good ten minutes. Another majormtip, is to incorporate powdered whole milk in the original mix. It really helps with the texture and flavor. Last and optional, but for me essential, I use an all natural dough improver that keeps the breast fresh and mold free for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. The rest of the recipe, is just as you suggest here. The honey is essential. Imsomtimes also add Agave doe a sweeter loaf. I believe the final product of our breads are similar.
Looks great! Will use 1/2 each of Red/White. TFS your technique. I’m going to freeze one of the three loaves (after shaping) and see how that works out. Have you ever done that? Love how you multitask. Really takes me back. My youngest of four is now 50, so it’s been a bit. lol.
I've never frozen the loaves before baking--I'm intrigued! It would be lovely to bake the loaves fresh instead of pulling out an already baked loaf. I hope it works for you!And yes, our babies grow quickly; I like capturing these moments of little hands helping me.
@@homemakingwithjoy Tried your recipe this afternoon. Used Red, White and 1 cup Kamut. Gorgeous loaves. Good rise, soft crumb. Yum. Forgot about my experiment to freeze one of the loaves. Oh well, next time. Thanks again for sharing your recipe.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Honestly, I've never checked what kind of yeast I buy at the store and it always works soooooo I'm not the best person to answer that question. 🤣 I'd assume everything would work the same. Perhaps a longer rise time.
Use your method with berries and followed part of another ingredients from a book ,Back to basics , it calls for milk,butter,salt in pot till bubbles on side then add to proofed yeast then add flour. I started with 3cof my milled flour then added 1c till not sticky. It called for 400° 50min so I stayed with that part and checked it at 40min. and it was done. I made 2 loaves it was a bit cool today so it took awhile to rise 50min or so, they look nice we'll see how they slice
I have tried making this recipe exactly and for some reason after I added the flour it was still so sticky and not dough like at all. Several times this has happened. Should I add more flour? Idk what I'm doing wrong
I would say hold back your last cup of flour and see how the dough is coming together. If it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, that’s good. If it’s slow in doing that, add one tablespoon of flour at a time and see if that helps. Once you see the pulling away, you’re good. Let the mixer form a cohesive dough. The idea is to add less flour, not more.
Another tip: fresh milled flour is stickier than regular flour from the store. Sticky and light = fluffy, light bread. A more dense dough means a tougher bread. I second what was said above, if you definitely feel you need more flour add very little increments at a time.
I love your video on making this freshly milled flour sandwich loaf. It turned out great. I'm a newbie. I bought a Wondermill. I was wondering where you buy white rice that is triple cleaned to clean my mill with. I don't want to get the wrong kind of rice to clean it with. Do you have any suggestions?
Good question! With experimentation, I found that less water worked better for me. The type and source of the wheat berries plus the weather and humidity can make a difference in bread-making. These are the ratios that suited my wheat and area. 😊
I've been making bread since I was little and for a long time I have been interested in investing in a grain mill. I finally did it with a gift card. Today I used your recipe to make my first loaves with freshly milled flour. I probably should have used a little more flour because of the weather but it was the first time! I am trying to figure out HOW BUYING BERRIES IS CHEAPER THAN BUYING FLOUR! It is not an "apples to oranges" because of all the reasons WHY to mill fresh flour but it seems that the berries are quite a bit more expensive than flour. Am I missing something? THANKS! Love your videos! You must be a great mom! 👏
For my family budget friendly wasn’t the reason we’re trying fresh milled flour, my family gets stomach issues from the white store bought flour, I did find a flour that works and makes wonderful bread and doesn’t cause issues but it’s much more expensive than the berries, and sourdough bread is the most budget friendly but my family doesn’t like it so we’re trying fresh flour and hope for happy bread eating 😊
@@Happymum5 it’s not easy to be healthy. It’s cost prohibitive & that is a sad fact in America. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the election results tomorrow brought a focus to preventive health to include better nutrition. Finding a way to lower the cost for consumers. I know. Big dream or more like a fantasy. 💁🏻 anyway I have health issues as well so I have been working with herbs, Organics & flours for years. I have so many types of flours & recipes I use. One women I follow is Victoria’s Keto Kitchen. Her flour mixtures are amazing. However, nobody matter what she or anyone else says the breads do NOT taste good. You must use actual wheat & a few others to get that taste we love so much. Using fresh milled will accomplish that feat. I have integrated multiple flour mixes into my kitchen that are tummy safe & actually taste great. No one can detect my dishes are not “the real thing”. I have swapped out every thing from salad dressings to puddings to dumplings & pie to KETO. All homemade from fresh ingredients when possible. It takes time & money to switch your kitchen over. I just did it gradually over about a year. Carefully planning ahead to plant or purchase items needed. Now I am switching household products & some cosmetics to homemade. Much healthier for your family. 1 step at a time.
@victoriadegand2393 I loved your comment! I am also wanting to switch my recipes to a more keto type diet. I wish I could pick your brain to what you have actually done in detail. My husband is diabetic and I am pre-diabetic, so it’s important to try harder to make some changes. Thanks!
@ oh thank you so kindly. I truly thank you for your compliment. Well stay tuned dear. I do believe I will be placing “something” on TH-cam soon. My adult family, while not willing to fully commit to my crazy, is pushing me to share. 😂. There are so many variable for every person. No one is like the other. Even what works for me isn’t necessarily the thing that works for everyone else in my household. Right now I am trying to figure out where to start. I make my own cosmetics & many non toxic household cleaning products. I just mailed out special healing herbal tea mixtures for Christmas presents. It’s so hard to know where to start. ❤️
@victoriadegand2393 I’m sure it would be hard to know where to start! There is so much information already out there, but, like this young woman, I just found her channel tonight and subscribed. They say the key to having a successful channel is to be yourself and to post videos regularly, then your tribe will find you. Actually, sometimes TH-cam is looking for new channels to push on the suggested videos, so you never know! I say, go for it!
My bread is in the oven now. It smells wonderful. What speed did you use on your Bosch? I kneeled for 3 minutes, but I never got past sticky. I thought maybe my speed was too slow.
Would you mind sharing where you purchase your wheat and honey from? I’m in Idaho and the company I want to purchase from is in GA and the shipping is outrageous. Just curious if there’s a more practical way that I’m missing.
@@homemakingwithjoy thanks for responding! I’m binge watching all your videos! You are awesome! Thanks for all the information and detailed videos! It’s been so helpful. 🙏🫶
@@aprilchastain8194 you are so kind. 🥰 I tried to create the videos that would have been helpful to me when I started my freshly milled journey; I'm glad it worked. Happy baking! 😁
I really love the taste of this bread. I just got a Nutrimill mixer and used it for the first time last night. What a big difference. I was using my Kitchen Aide before. I never got a window pane like this so fast. I cut this recipe in half thinking I could get one loaf. It was ginormous. lolol. I usually only bake one loaf at a time. I am thinking I could decrease maybe a 1/2 cup less berries and a less water to make just one loaf. It's just my husband and I. Any idea on portions for making just one loaf? Thanks.
This bread can easily get huge--your comment made me laugh because I've been there! Unfortunately I don't have any experience adapting this recipe for one loaf. I usually make the three loaves and then put two of them in the freezer for later. I let it cool, slice it, and then put it in freezer bags. It is very convenient to grab a slice or two at a time, throw them in the toaster, and have yummy bread whenever I need it!
I'm sorry--I don't have experience making smaller batches. I always make three loaves and then pop two of them in the freezer once they're cooled. It saves me time in the long run.
Loved your technique and your lovely disposition Joy. Listening to your directions and how you manage your time makes me wonder why it took me so many years as an adult to realize how awesome mothers are and how much you all teach us.

Love how you are baking/filming with real life going on around you.
This is the only way it gets done. 😊 I like to show others that even though life gets busy, they can do this, too!

How long and at what temp do you season your pan?
They must be heavy to lift right? I'd love one, but afraid it would be heavy
@ they aren’t, not really. Not like a frying pan.
I use parchment paper on the bottom of my pans with edges overlapping the sides. Comes out easy peasy by lifting the sides.

Try sourdough and ESPECIALLY. . . einkorn! It is not only super low in gluten but also very nutritious, much healthier than modern wheat.

Thank you for taking the time to show and describe what you are doing. I have made bread many times but I am getting ready to mill for the first time, so I appreciate your explanation!❤
Congrats on getting a mill! I hope that you have lots of success! I'm glad my video could be helpful to you. 😊
Such a good helper!
Yes, he is! :)
Aww, I'm so happy you made this video! I am going to make bread today so I'm going to try this, thank you! Your baby is so sweet! Have a great day...Dora
Thank you, Dora! I'm glad I was able to fit this video into my schedule this week. 🙂 Happy baking!
These look great! When I use butter in the pan, my loaves don't usually stick and I take mine out after 10-15 mins.
Thanks for all the details!
My pleasure!
I try to let mine cool about 15 minutes before trying to get them out, Using a hamburger spatula works really well to loosen the loaves. I like to see how others do their bread, thank you for helping others.
Glad I found you Joy! Your video is delightful and I very much enjoyed watching you make your beautiful basic sandwich bread from freshly milled flour. I am just beginning my journey with freshly milling flour and so far, enjoying it very much! Thank you for your good example! God bless you and your beautiful family!!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video; I try to make the resources that I wanted when I started milling my own flour. 😊 I hope it continues to go well for you.
We've had great luck with this recipe. I love the single rise method. FYI, half of this recipe fits our larger pullman pan perfectly
I'm so glad you've had success. 😁 I've had my eye on a Pullman pan--thanks for the tip!
I want to shout out to you, Rachel (is that your name?) 🤔🤔
Today was my first time baking bread, and it turned out so beautiful and delicious! I so appreciate the recipe on the drop down - you absolutely ROCK!! God bless you for helping us along this wonderful new way of life! 😘
Yes, my name is Rachel. :) I am THRILLED to read your comment. I always tell people that my goal in making these videos is to provide the help that I desired when I started my freshly milled flour journey. Happy baking!
Beautiful loaves!
Thank you for all of your tips!
Thank you. My pleasure!
Joy, THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL. Super recipe. Have a copy. Will make soon. Thank you for sharing. Neat your child wants to help. I remember the days my son did that. Aria
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the bread as much as my family does. I try to let my kiddos help as much as possible--some day they will be able to make it for us! 🙂
just got a Joydeem dough maker and was looking for a good test recipe. I ground fresh flour and followed your path. Got 3 medium loaves. Think 2 would have been too much for my pans, but these were a little small. But the crumb was perfect, and they are nice and soft. Tastes wonderful. Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you so much!
You are adorable!
You seem like a great mom.
YOU CAN ALSO COOL YOUR LOAVES BY PUTTING THEM ON THE LOAF PANS THIS WORKS WELL ALSO IF U COAT THE TOPS WITH ALIGHT COAT OF SHORTENING OR MARGERINE AND PUT A TEA TOWEL OVER THE LOAVES THIS MAKES A NICE SOFT CRUST
how long do you usually knead for? and then how long do you let rise? It was not clear in your video. Thanks!
Perfectly demonstrated I made it and turn yummy 😋
Thank you for sharing
Can we use same recipe for pizza 🍕
Thanks again
I am so glad that you liked it! I have never tried it for pizza. This recipe does double as a cinnamon roll recipe, though. If you check out my channel, I have another freshly milled pizza crust recipe that you might like. :) Thanks for watching!
Girl a FAQ would be nice....i'm an hour and an extra cup of wheat berries in on the knead process and this is still super sticky....
This is the first video of yours I have watched and I was very pleased and subscribed. Thank you so much for your detailed explanations! I have a Komo Mio grain mill and have been trying to make a nice soft loaf of sandwich bread with freshly milled flour and haven’t been successful yet. I will try this recipe, thanks so much!
I wonder if you might be of Swedish descent? Your beautiful, finely sculpted features remind me of the artist Carl Larsson’s children that he painted. I love his artwork!
I am so glad that you found this video helpful as you bake with freshly milled flour. :) It can be quite a learning curve. I am mostly German, but appreciate your compliments! I look forward to checking out some of his artwork. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful fresh bread! Love your recipe and hope to try this soon! All the best.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed your bread!
This video was so fantastic! So many small tips that will really help my bread baking. I wonder if my Kitchen Aid mixer can handle 6 cups of flour though?? Maybe I could just half the recipe?
I think most people with a Kitchen Aid split the dough: they either only make half or only knead half at a time. I have one friend who put the whole recipe into her Kitchen Aid and called with the wild west because her mixer would bounce all over the place with all of that dough. 🤣
Thank you for this recipe. I have a couple questions. How hot does the water need to be, I don't use microwaves, so would have to warm the water on the stove. Also, how long do you let it sit to absorb the moisture?
Just getting starting in milling and baking wheat bread (at 74) Have you tried screening the bran out or maybe adding a little gluten to change the loaf?
Funny he brought up Goldilocks. As you were putting the lives into the oven, that story came to mind. This one is too big, oh and this one is too small, but this one is juuust right. Your loaves are beautiful thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I could weigh them to make sure they were uniform, but that's too much effort for me. Haha! Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
I mix all ingredients EXCEPT for the yeast and 1/2 cup of water. This way I can let my fmf dough rest for longer. Then I add the rest of the water and yeast and knead. It works every time.
This video popped up as a suggestion for me last night and I just ignored it because I already bake with freshly milled grains. I have had my milk for around 14 years now! However, the video popped up again this morning, so I decided to give your recipe a try.
It was super simple and looks beautiful. It just came out of the oven, so I haven’t tasted it yet. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Wow--14 years of milling. You should be teaching instead of me! 🤣 Thanks for watching and giving it a try. I hope you liked it!
My first batch turned out super dense. I made the mistake of not trusting the process when my Bosch was mixing and saw the dough was sticky and kept adding flour. My second batch I let the Bosch do its thing for almost 10 minutes and didn’t add extra flour. The dough was perfect and so was the bread!
I will add that I have an older model Bosch:)
Thanks for that, I have an older Bosch as well.
perfect timing! I have my project for Preparation Day 🙂
Can you freeze it to rise and bake later??? Would this kill the wheat benefits?
Just watched your video. Thank you for sharing! I'm new to bread making, wanting to make some healthier choices for my family. But I don't have my own mill yet. So I'mm just trying to find the best quality flour and ingredients I can for the time being. How many cups of "milled" flour would you say is in your recipe? I know you said 6 cups of berries...but what does that yield?
Nice video. I'd like to ahare a few of my soft-fluff-sandwich-loaf from-fresh-milled-flour tips. Perhaps the best tip, is to bolt your flour, removing some of the bran. Just run the fresh milled flour through a fine kitchen sice. The bran is wonderful in muffins and so many things. Next autolayze without the yeast. Then as you start to knead in your mixer, add one egg the yeast and process for a good ten minutes. Another majormtip, is to incorporate powdered whole milk in the original mix. It really helps with the texture and flavor. Last and optional, but for me essential, I use an all natural dough improver that keeps the breast fresh and mold free for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. The rest of the recipe, is just as you suggest here. The honey is essential. Imsomtimes also add Agave doe a sweeter loaf. I believe the final product of our breads are similar.
Looks great! Will use 1/2 each of Red/White. TFS your technique. I’m going to freeze one of the three loaves (after shaping) and see how that works out. Have you ever done that? Love how you multitask. Really takes me back. My youngest of four is now 50, so it’s been a bit. lol.
I've never frozen the loaves before baking--I'm intrigued! It would be lovely to bake the loaves fresh instead of pulling out an already baked loaf. I hope it works for you!And yes, our babies grow quickly; I like capturing these moments of little hands helping me.
@@homemakingwithjoy Tried your recipe this afternoon. Used Red, White and 1 cup Kamut. Gorgeous loaves. Good rise, soft crumb. Yum. Forgot about my experiment to freeze one of the loaves. Oh well, next time. Thanks again for sharing your recipe.
I use the metal pans and it comes out with no problem at all. Find the stick to the glass pans.
I wish I knew that the glass would stick when I purchased them. Whoops! I've been using butter instead of oil recently and that works much better. :)
@@homemakingwithjoyUSA pans. Nothing ever sticks!
Great tutorial! Thank you!! ❤
You're welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful.
Great video :o) I use Kamut freshly milled berries for flour in all of my baking. Great recipe, I love your video. Thanks!
I have heard good things about Kamut. 😊 Thanks for watching!
Have you ever kneaded this by hand? If so, how long would it take?
Where did you get your glass bread pans?
Beautiful bread
Thank you!
The Bosch is impressive! I love my NutriMill, but it could never handle that much.
Yes, it is impressive! I'm very grateful for my high quality kitchen tools.
great video so helpful. If I used regular yeast instead of rapid rise how would the process change?
I'm so glad it was helpful. Honestly, I've never checked what kind of yeast I buy at the store and it always works soooooo I'm not the best person to answer that question. 🤣 I'd assume everything would work the same. Perhaps a longer rise time.
I am new a breadmaking. Can you use a vitamix ascent blender to mix the dough?
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Use your method with berries and followed part of another ingredients from a book ,Back to basics , it calls for milk,butter,salt in pot till bubbles on side then add to proofed yeast then add flour. I started with 3cof my milled flour then added 1c till not sticky. It called for 400° 50min so I stayed with that part and checked it at 40min. and it was done. I made 2 loaves it was a bit cool today so it took awhile to rise 50min or so, they look nice we'll see how they slice
I have tried making this recipe exactly and for some reason after I added the flour it was still so sticky and not dough like at all. Several times this has happened. Should I add more flour? Idk what I'm doing wrong
I would add more flour. Just a little bit by bit until the dough is slightly sticky but can be handled without actually sticking to everything.
@@Miffy846 thankyou, I'll try again
I would say hold back your last cup of flour and see how the dough is coming together. If it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, that’s good. If it’s slow in doing that, add one tablespoon of flour at a time and see if that helps. Once you see the pulling away, you’re good. Let the mixer form a cohesive dough. The idea is to add less flour, not more.
Another tip: fresh milled flour is stickier than regular flour from the store. Sticky and light = fluffy, light bread. A more dense dough means a tougher bread. I second what was said above, if you definitely feel you need more flour add very little increments at a time.
@@Ididntwantayoutubehandl ok, thankyou!!
MY LOVE
GBU!
THANKS SO MUCH
FIRST PLESSE I NEED WHERE CAN BUY THE GROUND MACHINE N THE FLOUR ? PLEASE AT FL FROM PR
No 2nd rise? I'm trying this now but I've always kept my dough in the bowl for first rise then shape and let rise a second time before baking. Thanks
Just one rise. That's one of the reasons I like this recipe--it's so fast!
I have the same pans and I use room temperature butter and it never sticks. Just make sure you cover it generously.
I love your video on making this freshly milled flour sandwich loaf. It turned out great. I'm a newbie. I bought a Wondermill. I was wondering where you buy white rice that is triple cleaned to clean my mill with. I don't want to get the wrong kind of rice to clean it with. Do you have any suggestions?
Just wondering why you decreased the water from original recipe. I’m new to fmf n am still learning to work with it. Thanks. Great video btw!😊
Good question! With experimentation, I found that less water worked better for me. The type and source of the wheat berries plus the weather and humidity can make a difference in bread-making. These are the ratios that suited my wheat and area. 😊
@ thank you! I’m finding that after making original recipe 2X that it’s too wet n your reduced worked out.
I've been making bread since I was little and for a long time I have been interested in investing in a grain mill. I finally did it with a gift card. Today I used your recipe to make my first loaves with freshly milled flour. I probably should have used a little more flour because of the weather but it was the first time!
I am trying to figure out HOW BUYING BERRIES IS CHEAPER THAN BUYING FLOUR! It is not an "apples to oranges" because of all the reasons WHY to mill fresh flour but it seems that the berries are quite a bit more expensive than flour. Am I missing something? THANKS! Love your videos! You must be a great mom! 👏
For my family budget friendly wasn’t the reason we’re trying fresh milled flour, my family gets stomach issues from the white store bought flour, I did find a flour that works and makes wonderful bread and doesn’t cause issues but it’s much more expensive than the berries, and sourdough bread is the most budget friendly but my family doesn’t like it so we’re trying fresh flour and hope for happy bread eating 😊
@@Happymum5 it’s not easy to be healthy. It’s cost prohibitive & that is a sad fact in America. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the election results tomorrow brought a focus to preventive health to include better nutrition. Finding a way to lower the cost for consumers. I know. Big dream or more like a fantasy. 💁🏻 anyway I have health issues as well so I have been working with herbs, Organics & flours for years. I have so many types of flours & recipes I use. One women I follow is Victoria’s Keto Kitchen. Her flour mixtures are amazing. However, nobody matter what she or anyone else says the breads do NOT taste good. You must use actual wheat & a few others to get that taste we love so much. Using fresh milled will accomplish that feat. I have integrated multiple flour mixes into my kitchen that are tummy safe & actually taste great. No one can detect my dishes are not “the real thing”. I have swapped out every thing from salad dressings to puddings to dumplings & pie to KETO. All homemade from fresh ingredients when possible. It takes time & money to switch your kitchen over. I just did it gradually over about a year. Carefully planning ahead to plant or purchase items needed. Now I am switching household products & some cosmetics to homemade. Much healthier for your family. 1 step at a time.
@victoriadegand2393 I loved your comment! I am also wanting to switch my recipes to a more keto type diet. I wish I could pick your brain to what you have actually done in detail. My husband is diabetic and I am pre-diabetic, so it’s important to try harder to make some changes. Thanks!
@ oh thank you so kindly. I truly thank you for your compliment. Well stay tuned dear. I do believe I will be placing “something” on TH-cam soon. My adult family, while not willing to fully commit to my crazy, is pushing me to share. 😂. There are so many variable for every person. No one is like the other. Even what works for me isn’t necessarily the thing that works for everyone else in my household. Right now I am trying to figure out where to start. I make my own cosmetics & many non toxic household cleaning products. I just mailed out special healing herbal tea mixtures for Christmas presents. It’s so hard to know where to start. ❤️
@victoriadegand2393 I’m sure it would be hard to know where to start! There is so much information already out there, but, like this young woman, I just found her channel tonight and subscribed. They say the key to having a successful channel is to be yourself and to post videos regularly, then your tribe will find you. Actually, sometimes TH-cam is looking for new channels to push on the suggested videos, so you never know! I say, go for it!
thanks
You're welcome! 😊
My bread is in the oven now. It smells wonderful. What speed did you use on your Bosch? I kneeled for 3 minutes, but I never got past sticky. I thought maybe my speed was too slow.
Usually once all of the ingredients are incorporated, I put my mixer on high (my Bosch's highest setting is 4).
Would you mind sharing where you purchase your wheat and honey from? I’m in Idaho and the company I want to purchase from is in GA and the shipping is outrageous. Just curious if there’s a more practical way that I’m missing.
Both the wheat and honey are from Azure. 😊 I hope you like it!
@@homemakingwithjoy thanks for responding! I’m binge watching all your videos! You are awesome! Thanks for all the information and detailed videos! It’s been so helpful. 🙏🫶
@@aprilchastain8194 you are so kind. 🥰 I tried to create the videos that would have been helpful to me when I started my freshly milled journey; I'm glad it worked. Happy baking! 😁
Sorry if you mentioned this already but what brand mixer is that?
It is a Bosch mixer. 🙂 It's very large and powerful.
May I ask what your bread mixer is you use?
I use a Bosch mixer. You can find it here: nutrimill.com/products/white-bosch-universal-plus-mixer
Can you use soft white?
No, I don't think soft white would produce enough structure for a loaf of bread. Soft white is generally used for cookies, cakes, muffins, etc.
How do you make this with sourdough discard?
This is a yeast recipe. I've never used any sourdough with it. I do have a separate video with a freshly milled sourdough loaf. 🙂
what if we don't ever get the window pane? What went wrong? Kneaded forever in Kitchen aid ;(
I am at the exact 7 minute marker. You ground 6 cups of hard white wheatberries but how many cups of flour did it produce?
Do you sift the flour before you use it in a recipe?
@@bridscloset nope. I keep all of that nutritious bran in there!
I really love the taste of this bread. I just got a Nutrimill mixer and used it for the first time last night. What a big difference. I was using my Kitchen Aide before. I never got a window pane like this so fast. I cut this recipe in half thinking I could get one loaf. It was ginormous. lolol. I usually only bake one loaf at a time. I am thinking I could decrease maybe a 1/2 cup less berries and a less water to make just one loaf. It's just my husband and I. Any idea on portions for making just one loaf? Thanks.
This bread can easily get huge--your comment made me laugh because I've been there! Unfortunately I don't have any experience adapting this recipe for one loaf. I usually make the three loaves and then put two of them in the freezer for later. I let it cool, slice it, and then put it in freezer bags. It is very convenient to grab a slice or two at a time, throw them in the toaster, and have yummy bread whenever I need it!
Bread looks great. Is your Bosch a 500 or 800?
Thanks! I have the 800W model.
Can you make a smaller batch
I'm sorry--I don't have experience making smaller batches. I always make three loaves and then pop two of them in the freezer once they're cooled. It saves me time in the long run.
