[@florapalmer1198]

The cheat sheet will not come to me 🤔

[@livingwithwolves5055]

I tried for a year to bake bread using freshly milled wheat. Quick breads were easy, but the bread was always a disaster. I refused to give up. Your recipe has given me consistently amazing results. I like to use my electric knife for slicing. It is easy to get consistent slices. I then freeze the slices in zip lock bags and pull it out as needed. No wasted bread here. Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. Seriously, anyone can do this if they are using your recipe. The only thing I would add for beginners is an instant read thermometer. Every oven is different, and as long as your bread reaches 190 to 200 degrees F, it is fully baked.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Once you find the recipe that works I'm pretty sure angels sing lol I was frustrated for YEARS not being able to get a good loaf until I developed my own recipe. Thanks for the tips on freezing!

[@cariemorgangraff4829]

Thank you for saying this. I’ve never successfully baked yeast bread so I’m going to give this one a try.

[@HolyFamilyHomesteadWV]

I’m so glad I discovered you!!! Just wanted to drop in and remind you of that. I’m folding laundry and folding another receiving blanket I used to make bread. I can’t stand putting them away, my heart can’t stand getting rid of them. Some of them were mine even before I used them for my babies. Something as simple as recommending their use for rising bread has brightened this mama’s heart today and I just felt the need to tell you I appreciate you!!!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Aww, thanks sweetie!!

[@victoriadegand2393]

Oh so beautiful

[@susanfreeman6350]

I’ve been making bread probably longer than you’ve been alive. Although I’ve been milling my own flour for about 6 years, I’ve focused on sourdough with MOSTLY whole wheat. This recipe was a revelation to me. I made 2 loaves my first time, using my 42 year old KitchenAid mixer. The only thing I did differently was, I did check for a good window pane during the kneading process. This recipe was so easy and, oh my goodness, the flavor is incomparable! I used Granite Mills Organic hard red wheat. I’ll be taking one of the loaves along with a bowl of chicken salad to my elderly neighbors who are going through a rough patch right now. Thanks so much!

[@GrainsandGrit]

My pleasure! So glad it worked.

[@miloneemehta6337]

I bought a grain mill a few years ago and tried on and off to bake a good sandwich bread loaf. Nothing worked well until I tried this recipe. Got amazing results on the first try. Thank you!

[@GrainsandGrit]

That's wonderful to hear!

[@c.anderson3094]

I love watching your videos! So very helpful for me.... the novice! Quick question, after you kneaded your bread, you shaped it and then put it in pans. Why did you skip the first rise of dough before you shaped it in the pan for a rise? Thanks so much for your help!

[@heatherj3385]

This is my go to recipe from now on. It makes a gorgeous loaf. I split it into 3 loaves for my smaller pans. Today I'm making one plain, one cinnamon sugar and one pesto.

[@clayreynolds1412]

I love this recipe. I'm new to the fresh ground wheat club. but I have baked 30 loaves of this bread so far! Family, friends and neighbors love it! I have experimented with the original recipe sometimes. For instance, I have used white sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey and a combination of all of them. I've substituted 2 cups of cultured buttermilk for an equal amount of water. Melted butter or olive oil. If I ever get enough leftover bacon grease, I'll try that. This is a very forgiving recipe and I've added cinnamon and raisins for a delicious breakfast bread. Next will be a cheese and maybe add some jalapenos. Thank you so much for making my entry into grinding my own grains so painless. p.s. The waffles were a big hit!

[@thesimplelifewife3]

Thank you! There aren't many channels that focus on fresh-milled grain.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Main reason I started mine! 😀

[@joellespice1010]

I love your channel. because you indicate how much wheat berries I need to mill to obtain the amount of flour needed for a certain recipe. Thank you for sharing your life and your wonderful recipes. I am 78 and I have been grinding wheat and making 100% whole wheat bread since the 1970’s. I use a Nutrimill and a Bosch machine. Lately I have been using an automatic bread maker because of mobility issues. ❤😊

[@GrainsandGrit]

Thanks, glad you're here!

[@David-gn3vu]

Thank you for the video. I milled 5.5 cups of hard red and made 2 loads. Amazing! Thank you again for making the video. God bless you.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Fantastic!

[@sjking1111]

THANK YOU FELICIA!! I was running behind on prepping for the Sabbath and was still able to whip out this bread 🍞 recipe right before sundown. And good thing too, because my husband invited people over to fellowship on the Sabbath at the last minute, so I had NOTHING prepared... BUT I have 3 fresh loaves to share! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 🍞❤️🍞❤️🍞❤️🍞❤️

[@timvoss4913]

I celebrate Sabbath also😊

[@johnnylandreneaux8989]

My bread is crumble in two days. so can you please help me with this problem

[@agcala9619]

This is a wonderful recipe. It took a while but we are now confident to make three loaves at a time since we ate the last one in just one day because it tasted so good. Thank you. Eva

[@GrainsandGrit]

YAY!

[@lindapearson2376]

My husband ordered a Bosch mixer for me, as a complete surprise, about 20 years ago. He also, another time, surprised me with a NutriMill Classic grain mill. Both items have been used & loved for years. As my husband was the one to order these, I had no idea all the items they carried. I placed my order for hard red wheat today. Thank you for sharing! I am really appreciating all the information. Blessings!

[@mindyburns7536]

Hi. I tried to get the ingredient cheat sheet for this recipe but it's doesn't show up in my email. I thought I had gotten it once before but I can't find it so I tried again. My husband said this is the best bread I've made. I want to make sure I have the ingredients right because it seems a little sweet. Thank you.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Uh-oh, please email us at [e-mail], and we'll make sure you get it.

[@jennyfalcone7521]

OMG!!! I’ve been trying to make bread like this for almost a year. My fresh milled dough NEVER looks like that. I’m literally replaying your video to follow along and do bread with you. Fingers crossed I get soft bread inside and harder crust outside. Exactly what my husband has been asking me to do.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Awesome! You can do it. This recipe literally took me YEARS of trial and error, but it works.

[@jaclynsimpson3599]

This turned out great! Since starting to mill my own grains, I tried several recipes for sandwich bread and they turned out too dense or too soft and crumbly. Thankfully after trying your recipe, it worked perfectly! I’m so grateful, thank you for sharing it! ☺️

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful!!!

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

I’m a newbie! Been at this for about 6 weeks. I found Sue Becker thru you. I decided to invest in my family’s health and bought a mockmill and the ankasrum. Game changer from my kitchenaid. I got Sue’s book and use her basic yeast bread recipe except I tweak similar to yours. I make a sponge first by adding all ingredients except the vital wheat gluten and salt. I use 2-3 cups flour for the sponge. It sits for 30 minutes until it is bubbly and rising up. Then I add rest of flour and salt.....I’m in east tx and have found I need 5-5 1/2 cups flour. And sometimes when that is still fairly sticky I add oil to my hands and knead which makes a world of difference. Now my problem is that we are going thru it faster than I expected! Especially when I make cinnamon bread. I am gonna have to get 2 more loaf pans and double the recipe! I am trying and herb bread next! Then brownies.....we are loving the positive digestion!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Her brownies in that cook book are SUPER good! It's my go-to brownie recipe! So glad you have started your milling journey and WELCOME!

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

@@GrainsandGrit oh my! Just tried the brownies and wow! Yeah this will be our brownie recipe going forward!!!

[@dlk6g]

Just made this bread. It is wonderful and the loaves are beautiful. Thanks for all the tips about forming the loaves. I always just tossed them on the pans, lol. This method made gorgeously formed loaves. Thank you!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wonderful!

[@earlschultz7880]

I love your videos, I have been making bread with hard red/white wheat berries since seeing your videos way back! Thanks sister! I also made a bread slicer out of an oak board I had laying around so I could cut them straight! God bless!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Aw I'm so glad you stuck around.

[@christineconley7903]

I just got my NutriMill Harvest mill and NutriMill Artiste mixer. The first thing I did was make your beautiful bread that you have the recipe for here. I made all three loaves. It came out so great! Had the mill set on the finest grind. I also set it on a coarse grind and made me a bowl of cooked cracked wheat cereal (ate like oatmeal with a little sugar and milk).

[@GrainsandGrit]

YAY!!! That's great! Happy milling!

[@wessimpson2544]

I found you last year and bought a mill and whole wheat berries and learned how to make fresh bread. We love it. It takes some time but that stuff at the store is mostly junk. Now i got lazy after 2 knee replacements. Now i’m getting back to making it. Instead loafs can i make it more rustic. My proofing basket is round and i lay on a baking sheet. I understand baking time may change some. I think 2 loafs that way.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes you can! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHnKZ3Wpl7uCfNE

[@fusedglassbymeg]

I absolutely love this recipe and am so glad I found your channel. I received my wonder mill yesterday and made my first two loaves last night. I had a couple of problems with it being a bit to wet but pressed on and let it rise (perfectly) and baked. The top did deflate a very small amount but the bread was the best we ever had!!! I am hooked and am going to practice, practice, practice this recipe till I know it by heart. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes, practice makes perfect! You can do this!!

[@elainemcnabb2587]

❤I been watching you for a little while and I made my first homemade bread so excited I am 67yr kinda old to start but I'm so glad I did I used Ezekiel flour and Alp unbleached flour

[@GrainsandGrit]

Welcome!!

[@sharoncaverlee2803]

That looks good and I love how the texture on the inside turned out. I will try this recipe

[@jeanburgin160]

This is a great tutorial!!! I'm a newbie and I have learned so very much. Many thanks. All the best.

[@Blessedmomma702]

Thank you for posting this! I’ve tried to make bread sooo many times with fresh milled flour and it was never very good. I love this recipe. I just made my first loaf and it came out perfect! Thank you

[@jencarrier]

I am so excited for your year-long bread challenge! I've been using your sandwich bread recipe for a while now and our family LOVES it!!! Looking forward to more recipes as I'm fairly new to using freshly milled grains.

[@lindaarnold3091]

I am new to milling wheat and corn, but want to learn and excited to watch these videos. My mill has been sitting on the shelf since I purchased it a year ago and am going to start it up and try my hand at baking with your guidance! Thank you so much for teaching this very important way to bake with home milled grains. ❤

[@GrainsandGrit]

You can do it!

[@c.chines9418]

Thank you so much! I watched this video multiple times and read through the written recipe and instructions and I finally made a soft loaf of sandwich bread some buns and rolls! 😂 I’m so proud of myself and so grateful for your recipe and instructions.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Good for you!!

[@juliesanders7771]

I’m glad I watched this since I’ve not made bread in years. I never learned how to roll/shape the load properly. Great video as always, Felicia!

[@mrsupchurch2987]

Oh Felicia!!! I’ve been making freshly milled whole wheat bread for 20 years- the same two recipes. They’ve been very good but never lovely, lofty loaves. Just made this recipe and it is PERFECTION!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@GrainsandGrit]

Oh good!!!

[@chaparral88081]

I am so glad I found your videos. I am not an experienced bread baker, and I've been using the Bread Becker's recipes without consistency. I used your recipe for 2 13 inch pullman pans and a little extra dough for a couple of hamburger buns, and it worked so well. I love doing just one rise. Thanks so much! Lu Ann from southern NM

[@CookieCrumbFun]

I'm so glad you shared this! Splitting it in 3"s is a fabulous idea! More 🍞 what could be better!

[@tessajerde3912]

I am so excited about your monthly recipe release challenge! Especially excited about the bagels. Your channel has been such a blessing. Thank you for all the work and effort you put in here!

[@brendas1346]

I really enjoyed watching you make bread! I've recently started to grind wheat berries into flour and learning how to bake with it. My first try the bread was kinda dense, and I've since learned that I need 1/4 cup water per cup of flour (using regular bread recipe). I need more recipes! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Hope you enjoy

[@agcala9619]

When we found this recipe we made our fourth loaf of bread. We followed your directions exactly except we used less honey. I do not like sweat bread. This bread turned out much better than the other three but it still sunk a little in the middle like the other three. It did taste much better though. Eva

[@hannahfoster7941]

Thanks for this video! I'm a total newbie and just made my first loaf of basic bread from Sue Becker's cookbook but it didn't turn out great. I'm going to implement your tips and try again!

[@GrainsandGrit]

That's where I started, too. But after years of trial and error, I found my modified version works better.

[@jessicaeiss2541]

Felicia, I love your bread recipe, it's one I use frequently. I'm glad to see you've gone down in size with making three loaves, as making two, really does make large loves. It has impressed many people that we've given them to, but it's a lot of bread. I'll try this next time. I actually just made 6 burger rolls with 1/3 of the recipe, which was perfect for a little over a 100gm ball. Thanks!

[@angelikakopek]

Is the baking time the same for hamburger buns?

[@mandeep8t]

I’m having a similar problem, I love the recipe for 1 loaf on her conversation chart but it’s just a touch too big and I’m not sure how to size it down 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@teaandbecky3649]

Made this today... Perfection! Thanks!

[@GrainsandGrit]

YAY!!

[@dfay49]

Thanks! The bread came out very well. It was my first try and your video and recipe made it work. Thank you so much.

[@GrainsandGrit]

My pleasure 😊

[@terrijuanette486]

I always love your content. I've found.... to my despair... that freshly ground is a whole different animal than store-bought. All the bread making I learned over the years had to be relearned. BUT... it's so worth it, esp when people say, "How do you get your bread so light and fluffy?" That's worth every bit of trouble.... and knowing I'm feeding them not only yummy bread but truly healthy bread. That's really cool.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes, it really is sooo different! But that's why I'm on here sharing my recipes - took me long enough to figure out these conversions, so I can save people all that time.

[@johertel]

Do you have a video of making bread using the Artiste? My sister-in-law just purchased one and I'm trying to help her make bread with FMF.

[@GrainsandGrit]

I have this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4rJl36ogryeg7s

[@yarnchickenkim]

I love having this visual. Thanks! And I kind of like when the break cracks a little when it bakes. 😊

very helpful to see....even though my bread usually comes out good, it helps to see what others do! thank you!

[@GrainsandGrit]

You are so welcome!

[@annejones3902]

This is great. I made one loaf and it rose in 20 minutes and then I was almost afraid it was going to hit the top of my oven. Now to wait for it to cool 😂

[@beatricealcaraz5799]

Great video loved how you explain everything so well , would you mind telling where you got the rolling pin you used to roll out dough ?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Check out my Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/grainsandgrit

[@bayougal9279]

I’ve recently stumbled across your videos and you encouraged me to give this a try. I just made my first loaf and it had a gigantic hole in the middle of it! Can anyone chime in and give me a suggestion on how to avoid this? Thank you!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Two issues: this could be a folding issue. Make sure you’re folding your bread well. Especially when I do the “sleeping bag” technique I tuck it kinda tight. 2) wait until it’s fully cooled down before slicing and 3) make sure you baked it long enough. If it was baked thoroughly and not gummy inside then that probably isn’t the issue. In my experience, I think most of the time it comes down to the folding and shaping technique 😀

[@danielhammond2226]

Holy crap! so that is how you make soft bread, its all in the folding of the bread! wow I feel like an idiot , I can't wait to try this new technique!

[@robinphyfe5047]

Any suggestions for high altitude? I’ve made freshly grained whole wheat bread for years and have really struggled since we moved to a higher elevation.

[@GrainsandGrit]

You might need a touch more flour and about 20 more degrees on the oven.

[@zinarobertson3519]

Bosch mixers are awesome. My mom was given the Bosch mixer and Magic Mill grinder for Christmas when I was in Jr High, she is still using that mill and mixer some 43+ years later. So to that point her bread is like a rock, no offense but it is too dense for me so never thought I would find myself here. Never the type to wade into anything I plunged-- purchased the Nutrimill Harvest and Bosch mixer (Pleasant Hill Grains) and it arrived a few days ago. My first loaf is baking as I write this and the house smells awesome. Thought making bread was a day long process, especially if milling the grain, well just discovered this is not so---I did it in a few hours (learning curve). Can already tell the loaf is not going to be a rock as it was an over achiever "rising" loaf. Oh my that instance yeast is the greatest thing, since sliced bread....ok corny. Glad that I found your channel and looking forward to this adventure. Next is Ezekiel bread--still collecting all the grains and beans.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Haha, glad you're having fun on this learning journey.

[@rebeccawetherbee8676]

Could you tell me what size your 3 loaf pans are? Thanks so much for the great recipe!

[@wendyshine8548]

Your recipe and the Bosch are wonderful! I have just been diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning so I can’t use metal pans or pans lined with ceramic. Glass is my only option until i get rid of this. So you have any advice for using glass pans?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Glass pans work just fine.

[@wendyshine8548]

@ thank you Felisha.

[@susantaylor8507]

Wow the bread looks so good 👍

[@jandcbenoy5694]

Love the bread!!! Can I double the recipe in the Bosch?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes you can!

[@PreppinWithJesus]

I made this recipe, and the bread is cooling now. Super excited to try it later! I have a question though. In the recipe it asks for 1/4 TB of yeast. I can't find a 1/4 Tablespoon or a 1/2 Tablespoon measuring spoons. I had to guess with the yeast, little nervous. Can you tell me where I can find Tablespoon measuring spoons? Thank you so much!

[@GrainsandGrit]

You should be able to find measuring spoons just about anywhere - Dollar General, Walmart, Amazon, Publix, etc.

[@celestasergent]

I’ve never seen a 1/4 Tablespoon before either. I’ve been using 2 Tablespoons plus 3/4 teaspoons of yeast and it seems to work fine.

[@mydailystitches]

I followed your earlier video of how to grind my wheat and this recipe for how to make my first loaf. I have an nutrimill artiste mixer. The loaf is in the oven now. I misunderstood my mixer instructions and did not think I could make the three loaves of bread in it so I went with one loaf. I milled three cups of wheat and followed your video. I had trouble getting the dough to pull away like yours in the video. I ended up using all of the flour I milled and it still was very wet and shaggy but I went ahead and kneaded it for the 9 minutes at level 1. After the 9 minutes I had to mill another 1/2 cup in order to be able to work with the dough. Undaunted I kept going and let it rise in the pan. It’s in the oven now. Questions. Should I have kneaded it at a higher level with this mixer? This is my first time milling and kneading bread in my mixer. I’ve always done everything by hand using premilled flour. I’m really excited to make three loaves now that I watched your comparison video saying my mixer can handle it.

[@KrsitieSimplyBlessed]

what happens if I don't add oil? Thanks for all you do an really really appreciate it!!!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Your bread isn't going to turn out very well. Oil is essential.

[@KrsitieSimplyBlessed]

Replace with apple sauce will work?

[@lindanahler413]

Love this recipe. It has never failed!! Make it once a week!

[@GrainsandGrit]

Woo hoo!!!

[@tsmall6211]

Did you use 1/2 Hard Red & 1/2 Hard white?

[@susantaylor8507]

Will this do hood in my kitchen aid with the dough hook

[@PD-iu9bn]

In my experience, weighing dry ingredients (when you know what the weights ought to be, always produces consistent results. I’m curious why that would not be true with milling your grain?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Here's my answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGaagIB9fs93b9E

[@cavatinasophia5343]

I made this recipe today and had to add approximately 3 more cups of flour. This is my first time using the mill I bought May 2022! The loaves just came out of the oven, cooling now. They rose very high.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Wow, that's a lot! But I'm glad it turned out well. In baking, it's more about getting that dough right than just assembling a set number of ingredients like a puzzle.

[@laurennunley3759]

What do you think I should charge when making three loaves?

[@GrainsandGrit]

I would just factor in how much your ingredients are worth and how much your time is worth. And remember, this isn't anything like what you buy in the store for $2 a loaf.

[@corinne7126]

Awesome video, thank you

[@chevypreps6417]

I Need\Knead Bread Too. I am going to try this recipe the next time I make bread. Do you ever sift your flour when making regular bread? Your loaves look fabulous.

Very nice extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@christinelewis2873]

Just watching some bread videos while I wait for my last batch to rise before baking. Curious about how others are doing it. Your process is very similar to mine, which is based on the Urban Homemaker's recipe for bread with freshly milled flour. I use a Bosch Universal, too, but mine is at least 20 years old. Love that thing! One question: Did you grease your pans? I didn't watch the entire video, just skipping a bit through here and there, but I didn't see anything about oiling or greasing.

[@lollipopstitches]

I was coming here to ask the same :)

[@Titus2-3-4]

Someone may have asked, but does this work with pre ground wheat flour that I buy from my local market? Thought I'd ask before I try. Thank you.

[@GrainsandGrit]

If it's fresh, yes. But keep in mind, wheat oxidizes fast (it goes stale). That's why the stuff in stores is garbage, they have to kill it so it will last on shelves longer.

[@davidmitchell1304]

Please don't skip the part where the grains go down the mill and come out flour. I love that part. Very satisfying.

[@GrainsandGrit]

I love it too but for the sake of time I edited it out of this video. Plus in my Wondermill you don’t see the grains come out as flour. With my Nutrimill Harvest, I do 😀

[@WordAboveAll]

u can always look up her other videos and watch the grains come out.

[@JkBee]

Thanks Felicia, can we use your recipe measurements in a bread machine

[@GrainsandGrit]

[@elizabethhall1716]

I tried this recipe the other day. It was the best recipe I've made so far. The only thing I want to improve, mine was crumbly as a slice of bread. I did some hamburger buns that were much better. Do you, by chance, know what I can do to improve that or what I did that may cause that? I'm still learning. Thank you.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yeah, I actually did a live about this a while back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqG2mqiGhahsprc

[@elizabethhall1716]

Yes, I found that and watched it. After I had asked the question. I thought I was using a bread knife. After more thinking, my knife may be a meat knife. I do, or did, have a legit bread knife. I'll have to do some looking for it. It's from things inherited from my mil. I do love this recipe.

Will my KitchenAid be fine for proofing and kneading? I worry about the metal bowl and yeast.... Thank you for sharing your recipe. My sourdough is super heavy for sandwiches, so I was looking for something better and came across another of your videos. I was so intrigued that I purchased a mill and went to a local grain store to pick up some wheat berries. Can you use half hard red and half hard white for this recipe? I am going down the rabbit hole. Thank you for inspiring me to do more for my homestead!!!!! I look forward to trying this recipe. THANK YOU!

[@GrainsandGrit]

I often mix hard wheats. They both are good for loaf breads.

[@ediesteffan1197]

Trying this recipe today. They look good baking now. I noticed you did not use dough enhancer, or gluten, is this something you prefer not to add or just not this recipe? Love the video , checking out your links.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Why would I add extra gluten to my dough? It's already in the wheat I milled.

Would this recipe work with Rye berries too?

I’m so thankful for your videos and recipes. ❤ Can anyone tell me why my bread is so crumbly ? What I’m I doing wrong? I do live in a high altitude also, and would like to know what adjustments I need to make? Thank you . ❤❤❤❤

Does the bread also freez well?

[@angelikakopek]

Is your pan greased? And if so, with what? Can you line the pan with parchment? Thanks in advance!

[@sarahkirbach5040]

This is so late, but I’ll answer for her 😉 it is greased. You could use parchment paper, just snip the four corners so it drapes over & doesn’t rise weird.

[@erinchervenak]

How do you store the bread after it has cooled? And how long will it last before going dry or moldy, etc.?

[@GrainsandGrit]

It should be eaten within a day or two for best results.

[@SuePrimm]

Not knowing anything about wheat berries I bought soft white and soft red, can I use them to make this bread?

[@GrainsandGrit]

No, soft wheat won't rise in a yeast bread. You need hard red and/or hard white.

[@SuePrimm]

@@GrainsandGrit Thank you so much for answering my question. Many people don’t take time to answer questions. So thankful for the wonderful recipe. I’ll be making it in a few days.

[@melanieellis7490]

Hi thank you for all your wonderful recipes and your wisdom. Can I make this without oil? Maybe use flax meal and soy yogurt?

[@sandysteinbrook]

LOVE your vidoes! Thank you so much.

[@GrainsandGrit]

You are so welcome!

[@terrynhemken5635]

What type of wheat berries would you use for soft fluffy cinnamon buns?

[@GrainsandGrit]

I use hard wheats so they'll rise, but you can always experiment with softer grains: grainsandgrit.com/soft-and-simple-cinnamon-rolls/

[@sandigrenard-ic6iu]

I put my yeast in the warm water with honey to make it do it’s thing then add to dry ingredients. Is this ok with fresh milled wheat?

[@GrainsandGrit]

Worth a try! Let us know how it turns out.

[@theswampstead559]

Have you heard any feedback about what mixers work for this recipe? My standard kitchenaid is too small for this recipe and I've been looking at used bigger kitchenaids. I can't justify paying for a bosch, unfortunately.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yeah, if you download my free Newbie Guide, it has a lot of info on mixers for you: bit.ly/3XgUWrD

[@melissaculpepper7663]

Great tutorial! I have glass loaf pans…do I butter/grease them before baking?

[@GrainsandGrit]

yes

[@ovproductions]

Thank you, Felicia!❤

[@johertel]

So what size pans are you using? I downloaded the Quick Sheet and want to make sure I have the right size pans. I’m thinking the ones I have are smaller than yours. They are the 1 lb USA, but I usually put about 1 ¾ lb of dough in them to make nice loaves.

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

I have a Nutrimill Artiste mixer. Can my mixer handle this size recipe pretty easily in your experience? (Thus far I have never used more than 7 cups of flour in one recipe.)

[@GrainsandGrit]

It's certainly better to have more power, but yes, it will hold up.

[@goldenretrieveroklahoma4800]

Can I use spelt and Emmer together for this recipe?

[@brendastratton1306]

Hi Felicia! I just discovered this bread recipe and am looking forward to trying it later this week (not tomorrow, I’m canning…lol). I was wondering, though, is your cheat sheet for this recipe still available? I tried to get to it on your website but can’t go beyond the kombucha ad. Thanks!

[@kjvmama]

I ended up downloading your quick sheet before I watched this… I made 2 loaves. I will definitely make 3 next time!! Question… how many loaves do you think I will get if I use the 13 1/2-14 1/2 cups of flour recipe? I’m guessing 4??

[@GrainsandGrit]

Yes, 4 loaves! You can possibly divide up into 5 smaller loaves if you want.

[@sharonking7978]

Can you please send me a different link for the cheat sheet. I have tried several times and don't receive the sheet after signing up. Thanks again for your time and videos.

[@GrainsandGrit]

Uh-oh. Send me an email at [e-mail] and explain your situation. We'll get you hooked up.

[@barbarabello4148]

Does this recipe make a 2 pound loaf?

[@GrainsandGrit]

1.5 - 2lbs per loaf
