Grain Milling Tip...
Measure correctly to avoid excess flour after grinding.
One of the BIGGEST reasons for grinding grains is the
immediate release of all those nutrients. If you end up with
a cup or more of flour just sitting there, oxidizing, dying
and loosing nutrients...it not only wastes precious fresh
flour - it defeats the purpose.
A good rule of thumb to follow is: Grains usually produce
half again as much as you put in the mill. For example: 2
cups of grain will produce approximately 3 cups of flour.
Write the amount of grain next to your recipe once you have
perfected it. Waste not want not!
 Rainy Weather will have some effect on your bread
rising.
The
moisture gets trapped more easily in the wheat or grain that
has just been cracked by milling. It is more
susceptible to absorbing moisture than dead flour that has
sat on a shelf for months. So you may need to slightly
adjust the water amount in your recipe or add more gluten to
the mix to get the bread to rise. I personally avoid
bread on rainy days and focus on tortillas and other flat or
quick breads.
Different (wheat) grains work better for different
recipes.
 Freshly
ground whole wheat is wonderful! But not all recipes work
the same with one type of wheat.
A brief list of wheat types and food types is:
HARD RED is best for breads and items that require high
rising. HARD WHITE will also rise well, but has a less
heavy ‘taste’ and ‘look’ than the red. Both can be
mixed equally to make a deliciously light bread. SOFT WHITE
is best for pastries and flat breads such as pancakes,
tortillas and biscuits. Biscuits hold together better with
soft white wheat - just don‘t twist that biscuit cutter.
Taking the Time to Mill Grains
 I
have heard it before from people who think that it is so
'old school' and time consuming to mill their own flour from
grain at home. The truth is it is not at all time consuming
and the benefits outweigh the other option of buying 'dead'
flour and having it sit on a shelf.
The order in which I mill grains or work on a recipe may
have something to do with how easy it seems to me.
Fist, I measure the whole grains that I need and place it
in my mill.
Then I turn on the mill as I gather the remaining
ingredients to the kitchen counter.
By the time I have the ingredients on the counter and
maybe gotten out the measuring cups/spoons for the recipe,
the mill has stopped and it's time to assemble.
Whole grains taste fresher, store longer, far exceed in
health benefits, and are just as simple to use as dead flour
in a bag. So now that there is no excuse about taking the
time to mill grains, go ahead and enjoy the benefits!
Here's a DELICIOUS RECIPE...
