Make Bread From Stored Grain

My attempts at making simple bread from scratch, using stored wheat grain.

If anyone knows anywhere else I can buy milling grains in bulk in the UK, I'd love to know!

I'm also open to suggestions on how to improve rising without having to add fancy ingredients like dough improver.

I purchased this wheat online in the UK form Brow Farm (just Google them)

I enjoyed your video & good for u for making your own bread. If u add an autolyse step to your bread baking it will make a HUGE difference. What u do is mix the liquid from your recipe along with enough flour to make a very thick cake batter. Now allow this to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Continue with your recipe as before, you said u are adding some oil & more H2O very good. Make sure u knead your bread until it is very smooth soft & elastic. Give it two rises in a bowl before forming loves.

Rick can you let me know the brand name and price of you mill/grinder please? It looks a good one! Thanks

[rickvanman]

@bonnyjishop not sure the name of it - but i got it from bror farm.

Google "Brow Farm Milling Wheat" and you will find it.

I've also seen it on eBay. it's about £45GBP

Cheers

If you have a stand mixer with a dough hook, you can mix and knead your bread dough in that - usually for about ten minutes. That helps with developing the gluten, and helps the yeast disperse throughout the flour. Also, the altitude of where you live makes a difference on how long you let your dough set to rise. Altitude also affects the timing on baking, too.

Hope this info helps you! :)

@THEGARDENERGUY I was just reading your comment and what time of year do you plant wheat? I live in WV, near the ohio border so it may be different?

[DrPepper9961]

It's a Back to Basics (NOW RENAMED Vitorio grain mill, maybe Victorio grain mill).

I used a coffee grinder to make flour out of wheat I grew in my garden, and then harvested it by hand. Made a loaf of bread as an experiment. It didn't rise much, but it was good. Kids enjoyed the whole process.
