I’ve had a grain mill now since 2017 & have yet to use it. This video has been incredibly helpful, thank you so much for breaking it all down. I now know so much more & 2024 is the year I break out that grain mill. I always watch your ads but this video definitely deserves for the ads to be watched! You have done so much research & passed it along to us, I appreciate it so much. Keep up the good work & reap the rewards!
First let me say THANK YOU for letting the ads play! That helps content creators so much. Second, I am so excited for your flour milling journey! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. You can email me at faithandarrowhomestead@gmail.com I can’t answer questions about your mill but I can try to help with anything else :)
Did you get it out yet??
If not SEND IT TO ME! Haha
When you got your grain mill, I looked at the resources and was like, "oh I need to look into this" - I have 4 kids, I never did lol. THANK YOU for revisiting this topic!
Absolutely!! Thank you for this feedback :)
Just ordered a Nutrimill (the cheaper white one) and put in a Azure standard order to be pick up later and I am so glad I found your channel. Your info was great. Thanks
Wow congratulations!! I’m so excited for you!
Thank you you give such good advice I’ve learned a lot. Thank you so so much. I have a one wonder mill. I’m just beginning to pick up some grain. It is so expensive to get started.
I dont have a flour mill yet but im looking into this more. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Have a Vitamix? I don’t have a mill yet, but I milled some hard red wheat today with my Vitamix!
This was an awesome primer. Thank You!! We are a gluten and gluten free household. I have 2 learn both and need 2 mills because of cross contamination. None of this is easy, and it's totally worth it.
Oof, that sounds rough but I give you a lot of credit for sticking to it!
We were too... the gluten free person is me due to non-celiac gluten reactions (I tested negative for celiac, but after 3 food challenges, everytime we include modern wheat into my diet I have a severe flare of eczema, abdominal bloating, GI issues, and joint pain). I only recently discovered Einkorn as being well tolerated by people that are gluten sensitive, but non-celiac. I bought a small amount to test and remained symptom free!! I have now changed all my recipes to using Einkorn, and only buying and storing Einkorn (by not storing multiple types of wheat, I can put those budget dollars to buying the Einkorn since it is a little more expensive - but if that is my only diet option, it's just what I will have to do, and the rest of the family likes what I make with it so no more cooking separately). If your gluten free family members are non-celiac, maybe this might be an option!?! Wishing you the best!
Bluebird Grain Farms in Washington state is a very good source for hard red & white & soft wheat, einkorn, emmer, spelt, & rye berries. The grains are high quality and very clean. They are a bit more expensive than some other sources, but they only charge $9.99 shipping no matter the size of your order.
These are great tips! I have not used a scale and that is probably a big reason my recipes have not been successful. I really appreciate the vocabulary as well. I have been a bit afraid to try sourdough but I'd love to learn! Thanks, Jaylea!
Yes, the scale is a game changer! SD has a learning curve as well but it’s definitely doable.
Oh girl, I've been told my whole life I talk too fast, but I never thought so, especially when I ran into people who I swear talk too fast! Great video as usual. Hopefully, somewhere down the line, I can join this freshly milled revolution! 😊
LOL! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Also, could you do a spring pantry stock up haul (making more mixes, gravy mixes and spice mixes homemade)? Im really trying to make alot of those things from scratch for my family since i know exactly whats going into it. Thank you for always going above and beyond ❤
I will work on this!
I'm SO happy I found your channel! Bought myself a NutriMill Classic Grain Mill and a NutriMill Artiste Mixer on Black Friday - very exciting! Not only did I get a fantastic sale price on each but I had reward points on my credit card so ended up only having to pay $57.25 total price on the two of them!! Now to learn how to use it all 🤔. I'm a NEW SUBSCRIBER to your channel and look forward to learning a lot from you! Happy New Year!
Awh Debbie thank you! And WOW that is AMAZING!! Congratulations!! I am so excited for you to get started!
This video has been extremely helpful. I’ve been contemplating purchasing a mill…your journey and the reality ( of ups and downs) was the kind of encouragement I needed. Thank you. By the way…I never noticed that you talked fast. I kept up with you easily. It’s because you are who you are that I follow you❤
Thank you so much!! I’m excited for your FMF journey!
I’m in absolute kinks laughing because it’s yet another method of measuring and calculating and things to consider when baking/cooking and your information is going to be extremely valuable to so many! I’m laughing because I grew up with the imperial system of measuring, and then metric came along and yet most recipes call for the old system, THEN there’s European measurements in ounces and weight thanks to the internet 🤣🤣
Oh my word!! This adds another dimension to this now too😂😂😜 Thank you so much!
Haha, I know it’s crazy! That’s why I like weighing things. It makes more sense in my head, everything has a weight after all.
Very helpful; thanks for sharing & researching for us! All the best to you in 2024 & beyond 🤗💗🇨🇦
I have used my mill for 6 months now and have perfected a light and fluffy sandwich bread. I am now motivated to get some soft white wheat and try my hand at converting my other baked goods like cookies!
I'm a new miller, about 2 months in. I knew most of your vocabulary, but it was a great refresher!
King Arthur flour website has a lot of weights for common ingredients. Grains in small places has a killer brownie recipe!! Now i have to try her blondies. 😮, 😂. Thank you, and God bless!
Thank you so much Jaylene. I happened upon your channel after asking God to show me why so many w food sensitivities n bloated bellies and digestive issues. And whats up with bread since everything He made is good Your video on homemade mixes came up on my youtube feed and i was lead to watch and i dont bake hardly cook. Lol. Then I watched your unboxing video of your grain mill n I was what is a grain mill? When I heard you say that “Sue Becker revolutionized your life”. I thought that’s a powerful statement. How did she revolutionize your life so I looked her up WOW! I was blown away with “the truth about wheat, the staff of life and Only Real Bread. I binged watched her videos. Then i started watching videos on grain mills. I ended up going with the WinderMill that Sue Becker recommends and then for Christmas I got my beautiful Ankarsrum mixer n the Zorijuchi Bread machine. I have my first co-op order arriving this week. I’m so excited I started out with 2 pounds of a few different wheats and made some muffins rolls and pizzas for my granddaughters. They love it thank you so much I know it was the Lord that lead me to your channel. Blessings
BTW great video. Explaining the volume issue was great help. Oh my gosh thank you i would love a measurement conversion chart. I’ve never used a scale and I’m finding it. I’m having trouble even using the scale because the numbers change every time I left the item up and put it back on, but I’m pressing on. Lol
I’m SO happy to hear this!! I’ve said before these comments mean so much to me because it confirms I’m doing what the Lord means for me to do. I’m very happy our paths have crossed. I will say a prayer for you that this change helps you. Look around on my channel, I have other health videos that may help you further. Using the scale takes a little practice, don’t give up! God bless you on your journey ❤️
Thank you SO much! 🙏🏼😇. Also please say your name a little slower. Im not sure if its Jaylene or Jaylee the cc doesnt pick it up. Forgive me if I got your name wrong. I just heard of another resource for grains 4Generations. They are farmers who grow their wheat. I pray God reward the work of your hands and bring you accelerated multiplied increase n His blessings overtake you 💕🙏🏼😇
@@nccgolden3626it is pronounced Jay-lee but it’s spelled Jaylea. Yes I want to grow my own wheat someday!
I love the einkorn flour…great taste…thank you for all your information
I am waiting for my mill to arrive and watching lots of videos on the topic. I saw one that stated freshly milled flour is a little thirstier than store bought flour as the bran and germ want water. The advice given was to add an extra quarter cup of liquid per cup of flour when following a recipe designed for store bought flour.
It is definitely true that FMF is thirstier! I don’t have a specific amount of water I recommend adding. Personally, I can tell most of the time if a recipe is looking too dry and add a little more water as needed.
Excellent video! Thank you!
I just made shortbread cookie bars without adjusting my amount. The hard white wheat was my favorite over my soft white, but still excellent. It goes like this. This is fine castor or baker's sugar. Sugar = 1/2 the amount of butter. Flour = the total weight of butter + sugar. I used 200g of butter, 100g of sugar, 300g of fresh milled flour (hard white or soft). 1 1/4 tsp salt. 1 tsp vanilla. cream butter & sugar together and then add vanilla. Stir in salt with the flour and add to the butter/sugar mixture. I roll out to 3/8 inch tall rectangle and surround with an adjustable mold for baking on a cookie sheet with a silicone mat. Baked at 320F for about 30-35 minutes depending on thickness of dough.
I will try these sometime! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for clarifying the process!
This is the first argument for using the metric system that resonates with this proud American😂
Great information here, I am new to milling and will be making my first recipe in the next few days. Your information has taken some of the anxiety out of it.
Great! It takes some getting used to but don’t give up. Keep trying different recipes and you’ll find what you like.
I’m not sure if you do sourdough but here’s a really easy drop biscuit recipe I came up with using freshly milled flour.
faithandarrowhomestead.com/freshly-milled-sourdough-drop-biscuits/
Funny thing about store bought flour is that my starter LOVES unbleached bread flour.
If you have to use regular flour and bread flour , sift your flour before you measure , it fluffs it so its not packed. I make yeast breads cause I am not a fan of sourdough, to me it just has a not so good taste to me, but that's just me I guess.
Sourdough isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! Sifting the flour is a great idea :)
Could you make a video on how you set up your grain milling storage and baking center in your kitchen?
I found that Montana Prarie Gold needs less hydration. I do HRW 3/4 and Gold 1/4
I would like to try it!
That is the reason you don’t just scoop out the flour. You are supposed to fluff the flour up and spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off.
Kamut is really great for homemade noodles.
Pasta is on my list to try!
@@faithandarrowhomestead PS: The pasta recipe I used was from Grains in Small Places. Cheers!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Great talk. Can you let us know if there is a difference milling on a wet day with higher humdity as opposed to a warm sunny day. Thanks
Brilliant video. I've been on my FMF and SD journey for a couple of years but am still learning. You covered so many bases in your video; you're a thorough teacher. Thanks. Question tho, I only once tried the cold overnight proof, and the bread was too sour for my taste. It would be ideal to do it this way because it's too hot here to bake in the p.m., but is there a way to avoid over-souring? Maybe I should put this question out to FB, as you suggest.
Are you hoping to bake in the am then? I would suggest starting the bread in the evening, doing your stretch and folds before dinner, letting it sit out to rise for 2-3 hours before bed and then popping it in the fridge. Decrease the overall time the bread is fermenting. You just have to tweak your schedule until you find what works for you :)
I like Azure because the shipping isn't through the roof.
Agreed!!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. My husband is diabetic and keeps pressuring me for lo carb. What can I use if I mill?
There is a lot of information about freshly milled flour and blood sugar. You need to listen to Sue’s Healthy Minutes podcast episode 34: real bread and your blood sugar. I listen on Spotify but if you don’t have a service it’s on their Bread Beckers website for free. That should help you.
What Kitchen aid do you have?
Where can I find the conversions chart you talked about please?
I think some people just listen too slow (yes, I do talk too fast, faster than you do). Have you tried the red, white, and blue corn varieties yet? If so could you tell a difference. I think we like blue Ohio better than bloody butcher, but have not done a side by side comparison. Have not tried the Hickory King white yet.
Hey Gary! No not yet, I’m slacking I need to make some cornbread.
@@faithandarrowhomestead That's ok, I know you are north of the Mason/Dixon line and do not eat cornbread as much as southern people do.
Can I use a vitamix blender to mill what berries?
I can’t say for sure because I haven’t tried it myself but I did try to grind it using my ninja smoother blender and it did not work. I know the Vitamix is really powerful though so if you have any wheat berries, just give it a shot!
I know they sell an attachment or a blade for the vitamix that is especially for grinding grain so if it doesn't work with your regular blade then you could check it out.
Another blogger showed bread with vitamix and her mill. She said it just takes longer, but there wasn't much difference in the final product.
You can totally use a Vitamix. It’s just slower because you can only do 1-2 cups at a time. I started with my Vitamix to make sure I would stick with grinding flour / bread making before I committed to buying a mill.
I can't find any of your bread making videos with milled flour
No I don’t have that many yet. I will share with you what I have so far.
