I use bread beckers book recipe for bread and I have converted it to grams for more accuracy and consistency. I purposely grind more than I need because humidity and temperature can change the amount of flour you may need to make it to the proper consistency. However, doing this sometimes leaves left overs. First the best thing to store left over flour in is a Mason jar or other airtight container. Then simply drop in an Oxygen absorber. And store in fridge (if using in a day or two) or freezer if longer. With the O2 absorber, there will be no oxygen to kill off the vital nutrients. Or allow it to become rancid.

Thank you so much Felicia! Your videos are always so helpful. ❤

This was super helpful info! Thank you!

Love ya girl!! Thank you much for this video! Another question I have is: when you make muffins with said flour, do you refrigerate your muffins or leave them out? I made strawberry muffins on Thursday and had left them out. I will probably freeze some since we're not eating them fast enough. I'm noticing a taste with them now. Recipe said 24 and I got 36!!! 🤪
P.S. I have been inundating myself with your videos since I got into this "wheat berry" journey. I got the cookbook from Sue Becker as I was watching your video, thanking God that I got the right one! You rock, fellow Florida girl!! Keep 'em coming!!

Do you have asthma? Sometimes when you talk, you sound a little out of breath maybe you’re just a little nervous when you talk. I have asthma and it reminds me of myself when I’m having some issues I have a feeling it’s just the way you talk when you’re trying to get something over to us. Thank you for all your good information.

Can I mill and make dough then refrigerate the dough?

[thoma]

❤ thanks. Still new to milling flour and getting a base bread recipe. I do not have your mixer…

[mamatmag]

Ok, left over flour gets used to feed one of my sourdough starters. I don't understand why people are still using old dead flour for that. You always have extra.

[lorisilva]

Felicia, I'm thinking up questions here as I go...
Can I blend AP, bread, or self rising flour with hard wheat or soft wheat depending on recipe? and can you give measurements? Half milled to half white flour or 2/3 milled to 1/3 white...vice versa? Please help. You have the experience and right now, waste CAN'T happen. Don't mean to be a pest but could you do a part 2?

How long does the vitamin e last after baking?

I just mill slightly under what i think ill need and finish it up with unbleached whole wheat from the store. I don’t want to waste any of the nutrition of my grain!

Been making bread now for a while. Just finished a loaf a bit ago at 2.6 pounds. A mix of hard red, hard white, barley and a cup of oats. Dried cranberries and pecan pieces. Used Leinenkugel Berry Weiss instead of water for flavor.

I cheat though and use a breadmaker. But, hey. it turns out ok.

[wvnanaskitchenandgarden]

Felicia. How do you switch out self rising and all purpose with the wheat berries. Also, how to you switch out store bought bread flour for wheat berries? I’m fairly new to grinding my own flour. Thanks.

Hey this might be a weird question but why is you butter bell upside down?

[elizabethrose]

Some reason l am not finding your links to buy. Can you send that to me?

[JamesHarris-woum]

Thanks
How much if any do you tap o shake down your flour? I have a big measuring cup I mill my flour into, when I tap it a few times it will settle about 25 percent. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Jim

Hi! I have a question! When I’m using soft wheat for cakes or muffins, they seem to just want to crumble/fall apart! Do I need to add more flour or why is this happening. I have learned that pretty much all recipes using store bought flour, when I want to make them using fresh flour I need to add more than the recipe calls for. Just trying to figure out how much more seems to be challenging.

I have a Kitchen aid Mixer with a dough hook attachment.. I made a loaf of Bread with 1/2 and 1/2 Soft White Wheat and Hard Red Winter Wheat for a liter blend of bread. My question is on my Kitchen Aid mixer is this... when the dough gets close to done it wraps around the hook and stays there.. When I took the dough out it was still sticky and I had to add more flour to roll it out.. any suggestions?

[diyaapak]

whenever I try to make seitan with it (recently milled wheat (less than three weeks)) the dough denaturates to thick water, what should I do.

[sarachitwood]

Has anyone bought wheat berries from Honeyville? I have and their prices and shipping are great! However, the berries needed a little picking through. Not bad but they’re not as clean as Palouse or azure standard.

I’m a very scientific person being a medical professional. And would really appreciate it if people would cite the scientific study that they get these figures from. They would be much more informative statistics, and then I would feel comfortable quoting these figures to someone else.
