    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!

      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.

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 🤣🤣

    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

    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.

    • @faithandarrowhomestead
      @faithandarrowhomestead  2 місяці тому

      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.

    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.

    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 got some hard red wheat berries and first time we tried baking with it we found it wouldnt rise. yeast was fresh. wheat berries were perhaps abit older. who knows how long they were stored. perhaps if i could get some trouble shooting as to why? was it too coarse. had it set for factory setting and it came with a small sample to show it.

    • @faithandarrowhomestead
      @faithandarrowhomestead  День тому

      It’s hard for me to know for sure but there’s two things I’d say. Freshly milled flour is much denser. Did it not rise at all or just not as much as you were expecting? And second, if the flour was a bit on the coarse side that would only further reduce your rise. Maybe try setting it to a finer grind and see how it does.

    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.

    • @faithandarrowhomestead
      @faithandarrowhomestead  5 місяців тому

      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 :)
