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!
THIS BECAME
THIS
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!

ohh, if only you could post "scratch and sniff" pictures. That looks so good, I can almost smell the hot bread.
Way to go!
Way to go, I love hommade wheat bread. Luckily I have found some bread @ walmart that tastes just like homemade...dunford bakers. I bet the bread doesn't last for long.
I'm going to have to stop by for a piece! Looks delish!
My mouth is watering! I'm going to need lessons, I just bought my first huge bucket of wheat and am over-whelmed with what to do with it.
i'm jealous.. i would love those 2toys!! i've been working on our food storage finally, and thats one more thing i need to learn to do---i cant believe i never learned at home-- My mama was the breadmaking queen!
PS- you must come to apron nite, no one is "too old":) you will love it!
Wow! I'm impressed. I wish I lived closer and I'd be by for a bite. Congrats on the accomplishment.
Yummy! That looks good! I was just telling Mom that I wanted a bread machine so that I could make bread (the cheater way)! I wish we could come see you to have some!
I didn't know that there was things you were suppose to use with different types of bread! very interesting! sure looks yummy! I have recently started making bread myself, I find it cheaper than buying it although we like it so much I'm afraid of the "moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips" saying! this looks awesome!
As always, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met in my life. That Bread looks delicious. Maybe I might even get inspired to make some myself. I haven't made bread for a long time now. I love the way it smells up the house. Sniff!!! Ummm sooooo yummy!
