I would love a video on the difference between winter wheat and spring wheat.

@GrainsInSmallPlaces 3 ай бұрын

The main difference between the winter and spring wheat is when it was planted. The Spring wheat is planted in the spring. The winter wheat is planted in the fall and grows all winter long. As long as they are a hard wheat variety, they typically will both work great for breads. If it is a soft wheat variety, that is better for cookies, muffins, quick breads, etc.

Oh my gosh, I have been looking for a detailed explanation for all these fresh milled wheat berries. Thank you so much and your way of explaining is awesome! I am subscribed now! I have always been a baker/preserver/cook but after kids left the nest I did much less but low and behold in 2020, to be exact 11/20/20, my sourdough starter was born and I have been an “artsie” baker since and very much self taught. I have all of the grains you have spoken of and use fresh milled Rye in my starter as well as hard red and white, I do add Kamut and or rye to my sourdough breads and love the flavor change. I have yet to use the Emmer and or Einkorn but soon will. I have yet to get creative with yeast breads but I am cooking and baking my moms meals now and she cannot eat the sourdough (toughness) so I will be making yeast breads for her. I have taken your recipes and will start using them. Thank you again! I look forward to more videos and must now go to your page and watch them all! Have a beautiful day!

Almost all danes eat rye bread for lunch every day. But no, it doesnt form a good gluten network. So when we make rye bread it is supposed to be very dense and full of seeds and cracked grain kernels.

Me too I would love to see are you organize everything in your RV… I used to prepare everything breads before leaving… but maybe I don’t need too… we have an oven in the RV… of course smaller than my home oven… 😅… so it would be nice to see it. I have the same small containers and 5 gallon buckets… I need to buy more grain… and they also have emmer… I don’t know much about it… but, I love to experiment and learn. I often add “bran flour” to my breads and other recipes… it’s the bran I sift… then powder in my Vitamix… I also add okara powder (from my soy milk puree)… dehydrate and powder it… I hate to waste stuff… this is too nutritious to waste. Thank you! I line your video, it’s nice to see how other people use grains. I haven’t been baking much breads with einkorn… although I have a recipe khorasan and einkorn… 😱❤️… I love both too. I also made an einkorn risotto… my son really like it as everyone… it is amazing everything you can make with grains… other cultures have used it much more… so I like to make those recipes.

On one of your videos I watched recently. Not sure which one, you said you had a problem with some Einkorn you bought on Amazon. And gave a link to the one you buy now. I have been buying the Grand Teton Ancient Grains. The last one I bought was great. That wasn’t the brand you were talking about was it? If you don’t mind telling me. Thanks in advance. 😊

@GrainsInSmallPlaces Ай бұрын

It has been awhile, and I am not 100% sure. But, I think it was Grand Teton, but I don't think it was Grand Teton that was the issue, I think it may have been an Amazon issue. Possibly something happened at the Amazon warehouse. That was also probably 2 years ago. If you purchased some from there, and it was great then I would say you are good to go.

I have a question for you that I can’t seem to find the answer for. I have a batch of hard white wheat berries that I’m not sure about. They don’t smell as fresh as my other grains but they don’t exactly smell bad. I’d hate to lose a fifty pound bag of grain. How can you tell if a batch of grain is no good and can’t be salvaged?

@GrainsInSmallPlaces Жыл бұрын

Great question! Typically the only things that will make wheat berries go bad is bugs or moisture. So, if there is no evidence of bugs and no musty/moldy smell I would think it should be fine! Whole Wheat berries can last many many years, and once you mill them, the freshness comes out again! Hope that helps!

Is fresh milled flour measured the same as store bought flour? Also, how is fresh milled flour in a bread machine?

@GrainsInSmallPlaces 5 ай бұрын

I typically will weigh my wheat berries and this is the same weight you will get for flour. BUT, the volume is different. So, one cup of wheat berries will equal more than 1 cup of flour. I don't have a bread machine, but I have reports that it does work, but there is a learning curve to working with fresh milled flour. I have lots of videos to help if interested! Happy Baking!

Well, I certainly hope you'll have time to see this question and answer for me. No matter who was trying to explain this. Everything is so very wordy. Possibly this just cannot be helped. So I have just a couple questions first one being. Are you saying that the basic recipe for making a loaf of bread changes when using these wholeberries that we have ground ourselves? So another words, a loaf of bread does not going to be the same amount of water, the same cups of flour, the same yeast, measurement, etc? And if a person 's only interested in to begin is which is most comparable to all purpose flour and which is most comparable to bread flour. For now that's all I really want to know. Thank you

@GrainsInSmallPlaces 9 ай бұрын

Hi! The wheat berries all have a different amount of moisture in them, and they all develop gluten differently. (and some don't develop gluten at all.) There is not really a quick answer for this. But, I can try my best. It depends on what you are making to determine the kind of wheat berries to use. If you are just starting out, I recommend to use a recipe that is written for fresh milled flour specifically to take the guesswork out. Then when you start to see the consistency of the dough and the texture, it will help when trying to convert recipes. I have a ton of recipes on my blog at www.grainsinsmallplaces.net where I add new ones each week. So, to start out, if you want to make a yeast bread I would recommend to use hard white wheat. If you want to make muffins, cookies, etc. I would recommend to start with soft white wheat. It is more helpful to weigh the wheat berries than it is to use cups when converting recipes. I hope this isn't confusing, and is helpful to you. Happy Baking! There is a learning curve, and we all go through it, so don't give up! You can do this!
