I just purchased an Ankarsrum mixer and I love it! Best bread machine I have ever owned and at 72 years old I have been through many bread machines. The stainless steel bowl with the roller is awesome and the way it kneeds is mesmerizing. Yes, it's spendy but to me it is worth every penny if you are a bread baker. Thanks for another great video 😊
Patti, is yours like this? amzn.to/4ddo8YN It's funny you say that because I've had my eye on on the Anks for awhile but I just don't "need" it--but I sure want it! I love the colors it comes in, too. What color do you have? Have so much fun with it--make sure you use it a lot!! I'll be wishing on it and maybe I'll get one one day :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I sure appreciate it.
@@RobynOnTheFarm You won't regret the Ank - it is beautiful. I wish I had purchased one when I really wanted it years ago, but I got one a couple years ago. You won't regret it and making the purchase now just means more years to enjoy it. Next item on my bread-making wishlist is the Mockmill 200 Pro. I'm sure the 200 will be fine, but for $100 more, might as well cry once and enjoy it for many years to come.
Thank you! I appreciate that. It is easy! I've made a lot of terrible FMF bread over the years, and it took a while to land on this method, but in my opinion it makes the best bread. Thank you for watching!
HI Robyn, Thank you for the tip. I tried to fix the loaves, and it did rise but not very well. I tried your recipe again this morning and it rose twice the height of the pan after coming out of the oven. It was really high!!! I used just hard red winter wheat. Also, I put it in the oven with just the light on and covered with a damp cloth... and put a pan of hot water on the bottom. I think that did it. Haven't cut into it yet. I enjoy your videos. thank you, Merry Christmas, Julie
I love grinding my own grain, I made brioche buns from hard white wheat yesterday and going to try to make brownies today with soft white and barley today if I feel like, husband and myself have Covid so up and down with energy but we’re fine. Thanks for the recipe, I’ll be using it next week
Hi Liza! Oh no! I hope y’all recover quickly and get back to normal soon. I hear it is going around again. You must be doing ok overall if you’re still baking and staying busy! Those brioche buns and brownies sound very, very, very good. Y’all take care of each other and get better soon!
@@RobynOnTheFarm I was in the hospital for a week, it caused a blockage in my bile duct. Had surgery to remove the blockage. I think I had a stone but they blamed everything on Covid back then. Send me your email so I can send you my brownie recipe using fresh milled soft wheat. You would never know it from fresh milled flour
No way! It got you good! That is so scary. I'm glad you got all fixed up and that is behind you. I would absolutely love your fresh milled flour brownie recipe!! Thank you Liza! My email is robynonthefarmtv@gmail.com
Wonderful! I hope it turns out great! Yes, the cast iron bread pans are the best. They bring me joy, lol! How do you like your mock mill? I hope you enjoy making this bread! Thanks so much for watching and being here!
@ I really love my Mock Mill! I almost got the 100 but I’m glad I went with the 200, it’s very fast! I still have a lot of learning to do, I’m getting a couple of books for Christmas!
I've heard awesome things about the Mockmills, but I have so many mills that I need to wait for one to give out before I can justify getting a new one! I have my eye on one like yours though!
I will definitely be trying soon. I just started baking with freshly milled flour and have been trying other recipes, but I haven’t seen the best results. My bread doesn’t rise very well and comes out crumbly. I noticed your from Lehi, I live north of Ogden, so I will definitely be trying your recipe, because we are at the same elevation. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Daniel! Definitely try this recipe! The autolyzing will help with the crumbly crumb and will give you a softer, lighter, fluffier bread. Be sure to get the dough to “windowpane” like I show in this video. If you happen to have a bread machine, you can even make this recipe that way like I show here: th-cam.com/video/2_HZd6EmV6U/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared I hope you have luck with this recipe! I make it almost every day, it’s the best way I’ve found to make freshly milled flour sandwich bread-and it has taken me years of experimenting and practicing! I’ve made a lot of terrible loaves. Let me know what you think when you make it! I really think you’re going to like it.
@@RobynOnTheFarm Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it turns out. it will be a week or two before I can get to it unfortunately. Thanks again. :)
Thanks for this question! I just added the recipe with the adjusted ingredients to make one loaf of bread down in the description. Thanks for watching!
@@RobynOnTheFarm i=i made the bread :) it's baking ,almost done, smells sooo good!!! i put foil on top so won't get to dark, i like medium. took 25 min mixing with my nutriMill mixer, had to add tsp of water, i use a thermometer to make sure is done 190 to 200 is done. i'll lyk how turns out Robyn
How did it turn out Terri?! That was a long time to reach windowpane! I’ll have to update that one the recipe. Thanks for letting me know. I sure hope you’re pleased with the fresh milled flour bread!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. You convinced me to get the Lodge CI loaf pan - timing couldn't have been more perfect as they're having a sale right now. I'm thinking of getting a Mockmill and learning about the different types. Is there a benefit of hard white winter wheat over red wheat?
You are going to love the cast iron loaf pan! I'm glad you got a good deal on one. It will last forever! I store both hard winter white and red wheats, and use them both. They may vary slightly in nutritional benefits, I have always heard the red is a bit higher in protein and some other nutrients, but I think it is minimal in difference. They do have different flavors, and the white is considered milder and sweeter, the red more nutty and earthy. The white is what I hear most people who are new to whole grains prefer, so it's a good one to start with. But I love breads made with red wheat, too. I typically open a big bucket, use it, then open another bucket of the other variety for a change. I hope you love this recipe. I have been making FMF breads for almost 25 years and this recipe makes it turn out the way I like it best. Thanks for being here!
Thank you so much for this thorough recipe video. I have glass bread pans, should I change the oven temperature? If so, what temperature do you suggest?
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate that. I haven't baked in glass pans for probably 10 years, so I can't remember exactly, but I believe it's recommended to reduce the baking temperature by 25°F and increasing the baking time a bit. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly. Maybe someone else will see your question and be able to help!
Hi Robyn, I followed your recipe right along with you. I only olive oil for butter and used oat milk. I could not get a window and checked frequently . Using the Bosch on setting 2 and kneading for almost 30 mins... I think it overkneaded. Touch, dry, (only 6.5 cups flour) and not very stretchy. I have tried other recipes and can not get a window. The bread always comes out denses and heavy. Do you think it's the oat milk and oil? please help, Julie
Hi Julie! I don’t think it would be the oat milk or the oil. It’s probably more of a hydration issue. Since it’s winter, sometimes more water is needed because it is so dry out. That is my best guess. You can let the dough rest, then try kneading a bit more, or add a Tbsp or 2 of water, then knead again, and try to reach windowpane OR if I were you, I’d go ahead and divide the dough, put in loaf pans, let rise and bake, and see how it turns out. I’m sorry you’re having troubles! There are several recipes that I make that I simply knead the dough and never check for windowpane and they come out fantastic, so it doesn’t have to be the total goal. I hope this helps! Please let me know how it turns out.
I would add it just as I do the instant yeast. If you’re worried it won’t incorporate well, you could dissolve it in just a bit of water, then add that to the autolyzed dough. Hope that helps!!
My fresh milled flour dough stays super sticky the whole time. It never reaches windowpane even after nearly half an hour with the KitchenAid mixer. Any suggestions?
The kitchenaid may just not be able to do it for a 2 loaf batch. You could try to divide the recipe in half and try mixing less dough and make just one loaf. That may help your mixer. I’d also add just enough flour early on so that it isn’t too sticky, then try for windowpane. You may have to add a bit more as it kneads. But I also think that trying to reach windowpane is a good indicator, but it isn’t the overall goal. I make many recipes that I’m not concerned at all about windowpane, I just knead for about 8-10 minutes, then let the dough rise and continue on. So if you’re having troubles reaching windowpane, I’d suggest moving on, and letting the dough rise and move on with the recipe. It is going to turn out great! I hope that helps!
If you could convert your recipe to grams a lot of us would find that helpful. Very hard to measure in cups when you’re dealing with wheat berries that haven’t been milled yet. Don’t want to over mill more berries than necessary. Grams and ml more accurate for baking to get consistent results if we like the recipe.
I will do that Tiffany! I don't ususally bake that way, but I know a lot of others do, so I will work on the conversions. Thank you for this suggestion!
YES! I was looking through the comments to see if this was addressed. I have been baking bead for years, but when I discovered the precision of weighing, I have not looked back. But, you do have to know your grains to be able to use weights properly. That's the fun part 😆
Today I made my second loaf of bread Whole wheat I bought a second hand bread maker I have to unplug the bread machine after the first mix add a little more water then let go again again when it was too thick Added two eggs and two cups of whole grain in my vita mix and it the grain for dry grains Vita mix
That's great! I do have a bread machine version of this recipe that will work easier (the one for this video is way too much dough for a bread machine to handle). Try this one next time! th-cam.com/video/2_HZd6EmV6U/w-d-xo.html
I do have a bread machine wheat bread recipe video, I have another I will share soon! Thanks for watching!! th-cam.com/video/RTw7MYk4Toc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZkMkqawVNnybgIHb
I have the nice equipment you are using and the fresh grain flour. However, my dough still was sticky after 30 minutes of knitting. Did I not use enough flour I used 6 and a half cups I will continue trying, but it’s just real sticky
Yes, I'd say add a bit more flour until it isn't sticky. Sorry you're having that problem. Humidity, temperature, ect can all affect how much flour you need to add. Add just enough until it isn't sticky--but it's better to err on the too sticky side than too dry because then your bread will be dense! Some of my best loaves I thought were too sticky then they turned out great, so hopefully you have luck with yours!!
Oh no! I hate that! I have a lot of luck with mine. You rememembered to add the yeast after autolysing? I have to ask, because I have forgotten before and wondered what in the world was wrong with my dough!
Bosch make very nice products except for washing machine!!! I bought the top of the line Bosch Washer & Dryer years ago…. Big mistake! Ended up receiving letters for a lawsuit were many many people are involved (forgot what it’s called ☹️) anyhoo… it collected water in the seal and produced mold 😡 I believe it made me sick. Usually those awful types of lawsuits you only receive $50 bucks 😡
Oh no! If it makes you feel better, my old front loading washing machine (Whirlpool) did the same thing! They must make better mixers than washing machines, becasue I am so happy with mine and I've been using it for years and years! Thanks for watching Teardrop, I appreciate you being here!

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. Definitely do if you’re worried it will dry out!

I would add it just as I do the instant yeast. If you’re worried it won’t incorporate well, you could dissolve it in just a bit of water, then add that to the autolyzed dough. Hope that helps!!
