The Smell of Fresh Bread

For Christmas Garry got me  a couple of new toys, a Bosch Mixer and a wheat grinder. The store that he purchased them from has weekly cooking classes. So I decided to attend one the classes, I really learned a lot and it got me all jazzed up to use my mixer and get grinding some wheat. I didn't realize what a difference a good mixer would make, first off it can easily make five loaves of bread at a time, my old mixer maxed out at about three. Second, it kneads like no other, the texture of my bread and rolls comes our so much better and that has improved the taste. The classes have taught me what the different kinds of wheat's are used for, and that whole wheat bread needs a couple of tablespoons of dough enhance and a little high gluten flour, things I better store if we are going to store and use my  wheat. I have never been a very good whole wheat bread maker, my bread always taste okay, but dries out really fast and always cracks on the side and usually has air bubbles in the middle. Not any more, this mixer change my life! So now I won't be using my wheat only for bean bag making and sprouting for Easter grass. 


It only took about 8 minutes for me to grind 14 cups of wheat. 


I was really excited because I made bread from the wheat that I have from "Lehi Roller Mills", Lehi Utah, my home town!

 I made some whole wheat multi grain, earlier in the week and then I made whole wheat today.
I've got to go I'm off to another cooking class!
