Getting Started Items: Ezekiel Mix & Misc. Grains

[@portofcall100]

Hello from Canada. Found your videos a couple of weeks ago and have been watching everything I can find. Your philosophy on wheat makes so much sense to me. Awaiting delivery of my grain mill but using my vitamix in the meantime and can't believe the difference in the taste of bread made with freshly ground grains. I truly believe this is an important step in my journey to better health. Thank you for doing what you do and God Bless!!

[@davidfalgout7304]

Where can one buy these grains? I live in South Louisiana, USA. Thank you.

Always grateful for your videos! We share! Right now we are in east central Alabama, keeping an eye on the weather. We shall watch you tomorrow! I usually always mix some sort of Ezekiel mix. I adore the flavors! Husband brought home "Do not eat the bread of idleness in late 1999. We have come a long way! You kept us healthy! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene

[@lorengarofalo5149]

Sue I loved seeing you again talking about grains and health! I was one of those moms who loved seeing you and your family at homeschool conferences from 1994 when we moved to Woodstock. You inspired me to mill and bake my own bread - which I did for years! I bought a grain mill, mixer and 100s of pounds of grains and other products from you! Currently since my husband and I are retired to Gulf Shores, AL I still come to your store any time I can when we’re visiting Woodstock. I want to make my own Ezekiel bread (I have one of your mixes from my last visit!). You’re reminding me to look for your recipe in your red cookbook which I have treasured for years! Thank you!

[@BreadBeckers]

Thank you, Loren! Sue will be so happy to know how you have been inspired. We love that you have continued milling for all of these years and that when you are back in town, you find time to come and visit us. Thanks for also taking time to share a part of your story with us.

The Home-Ground Flour book is a wonderful source of knowledge, and recipes! Love it!

[@BreadBeckers]

Great! Thanks so much for your comments!

[@tracygreen2020]

Thanks Sue! I have both books and have been buying your products since the 90s! You’re still such a great inspiration!

[@sharonlatour6230]

Just found you Sue!! Subbed!! Thank you!!

[@debrapaulson7882]

I make mostly sourdough bread. I just ordered a Komo grain mill and am excited to start using whole grains that are freshly ground. I also like to make Turkish flat breads so I’m going to try going to try using whole grains.

[@BreadBeckers]

That's great! We know you'll love the taste and benefits of using freshly-milled flour in your recipes! Thanks for commenting.

[@SuperSherry1957]

Is there a difference in spring or winter wheat?

[@kn33621]

I just made your corn muffins with cheese for the first time. I have recently started milling everything. Those were the best corn muffins I have ever eaten. They actually taste like cornbread. I’m glad no flour is added because that takes away from the corn taste I think.

[@BreadBeckers]

Yes! They are fantastic and so flavorful! We are so glad that you loved them! Thanks for letting us know!

[@winnifreddavies1294]

Because the ezekiel 🍞 falls apart so easily, can we add ground flax seeds? I happened upon your Chanel , and I'm so excited! I have learned a lot. Thank you so very much for sharing.

[@BreadBeckers]

Yes. You can add ground Flax Seed to most bread recipes; however, I have not found that my Ezekiel Bread falls apart without it.

[@sophiafarah6387]

Hello from California. I love your you Tube Chanel. I just found you last night and I’m obsessed. I wanted to ask you if you are familiar with cracked wheat? We call it burgal. Is it a good wheat. We use it in ground meats, lentils and salads. We wash it first and then soak it in warm water for 30 minutes. We fluff it with a fork and add it to our meal.

[@BreadBeckers]

Hello. The only way that cracked wheat would still be nutritious is if you cracked it yourself just before cooking and consuming it. Once the shell, or outer layer of the grain is broken, oxidation immediately begins to take place, and within 24 hours almost half of the nutrients have oxidized, and within 3 days, 90% of the nutrients are gone. So, you can see that if you are purchasing this, already cracked, from a store, you are not getting the nutrients the body needs. Hope this helps.

[@hisgal2]

I'm planning on buying the ingredients for the Ezekiel mix separately and mixing my own large amount to be able to mill that into the amounts that I need for things like cookies and brownies, etc. Is there a specific way that you recommend for actually mixing those ingredients to keep them well mixed? I've found with other kinds of mixes with ingredients that vary in size, they often eventually settle and kind of un-mix. I'm planning on storing the mix in a large bucket.

[@BreadBeckers]

Hi. If you are milling the mixture regularly, it should naturally stay mixed just from the stirring of reaching in with a measuring cup and pulling out what you need for milling. Otherwise, a quick stir of ingredients with a clean device would also work. Hope that helps..

[@reneekelly6149]

Loving the videos!

[@robinbrentnall2760]

Do we have to sprout these before using them to bake?

[@BreadBeckers]

No. Pre-sprouting is not necessary. We sell hard-shelled grain that can be milled into fresh flour for all your baking needs. Please feel free to browse our website and KZbin site for more information and videos. I will also leave some links below to get you started.

[@goodculture8]

Hi! I heard Dr Josh Axe talk about the importance to eat grains germinated instead of in there "dry" form. He said most of the nutrients aren't absorbed by the body if not sprouted previously. Could eating to many grains without sprouting them be damaging for health? Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience!

[@BreadBeckers]

Thank you for your question. This one is probably best answered through emailing our office and speaking with Sue Becker. You can email her at: [e-mail] and we will get your email to her. :)

Curious if there was an answer to “Good Culture’s” question...??

[@BreadBeckers]

@@goodculture8 We actually found a great answer to your question. In an article written by Sue several years ago, she takes on this topic specifically as she does not agree that all grains MUST be soaked or sprouted before consuming. Here is a link to that article: www.breadbeckers.com/blog/phytic-acid/ Hope this helps. :)

[@maryburt3114]

can you use fresh milled flour inthe 5 minute bread recipes?

[@BreadBeckers]

Thanks for your question. The only flour we ever recommend using is freshly-milled flour.

[@sheilahamilton9088]

How many loaves of bread can I expect to get from a 50# bag of wheat berries?

[@BreadBeckers]

You can get somewhere around 60 loaves of bread from 50# of wheat. This is assuming that you are not making anything else from the wheat, such as: pancakes, muffins, cakes, cookies, rolls, buns, etc... Does that help?

[@MommaDiPrepping]

I have a question. I have your book and have been making the Ezekiel bread but every loaf has fallen in the middle. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[@BreadBeckers]

Hello. Please send your question to [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@danthelambboy]

thankyou for sharing this great knowledge. How many of your recipes in the two books are vegan?

[@BreadBeckers]

Hi Dan! Thank you for your comment! All of the recipes in both of our books can be converted to be vegan. You just need to know what to use for substitutes. Coconut oil for butter. Oat milk for regular milk, etc.

[@rcrowbar5625]

How much does it cost to make a loaf of Ezekiel bread? Generally?

[@BreadBeckers]

Although the cost will vary, we can be confident that it will cost less per loaf than purchasing the dead Ezekiel bread in the store.

[@tinadyck6257]

Sue, I’m new to healthy grains so I’m wondering where does Einkorn fit in these grains?

[@BreadBeckers]

Hi Tina, Einkorn is going to be in a similar category as Spelt. It has a similar flavor and protein make up so you will treat it the same as Spelt. If converting a recipe that calls for bread flour, hard white wheat flour or hard red wheat flour, you will use about 25% more Einkorn flour that what is called for. Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, feel free to email our support staff at: [e-mail]

[@sherryhedger9762]

Does the grains need to be sprouted to make this

[@BreadBeckers]

No. Absolutely not! We mill them dry.

[@lindahernandez8693]

Can I mill this a mock mill kitchen aid attachment?

[@BreadBeckers]

The Kitchen Aid has not shown ability to keep up with the milling process for long-term use. Also, it will not grind it fine enough for some of the things you will want to bake. The Kitchen Aid motor will overheat and begin to die. The mill that we recommend will last for years. I have used our Wondermill for 20 years now, and it is still going strong. Here is a link to our mill - bit.ly/shopwhispermill

[@MimsysGarden]

My grands call Ezekiel Bread “God’s Bread” lol… I had them give a loaf to my neighbor. The neighbor asked did they bring some of Mimsy’s jelly too. They told her “oh no ma’am! This is God’s bread, it doesn’t need it!” 😂😂😂 They were 6 & 4 at the time. (Last year)

[@BreadBeckers]

Awe! That's so amazing! We love it! Thanks so much for sharing that with us!

[@davidfalgout7304]

Please help ... I am new to baking. I do not know if I should spend the money on a mixer or not. There are MANY ...you tube video bread recipes that do not use a mixer. I have been studying and watching videos for two weeks at least 10 hrs a day. ( retired) So can some one please talk to the pros and cons of using a mixer vs hand kneading. THANK YOU!

We would highly recommend going and watching our full length "Getting Started" cooking class where Sue talks more about kneading by hand vs using a mixer.

[@mrsupchurch2987]

Wow! No need to mill millet? Just put it in my mixer with the fresh milled flour?

[@BreadBeckers]

That is correct. You can add it whole to your bread, muffins and even pancakes. Gives a nice little crunch. You can also cook whole millet just like rice. Has a similar texture as Quinoa.
