Thank you for making a recipe that is not Sue Beckers recipe. There has to be other recipes out there somewhere. I have her book but I’d like some other ideas with home milled grain. I also watch her channel. So when I watch other peoples channels, I don’t just want to watch them making her recipes. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I am really enjoying you recipes. We just got to go to Bread Backers and pick up our order. Our daughter lives within 40 miles of the store and we are picking up our grandson to spend Christmas break with us in Michigan. I loved going to the store and browsing! I pick up all kinds of fun things, I can't wait to get home and use all the ingredients and gadgets I picked up.
If you add 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch to each cup of sugar you powder in your blender, your honey granuals will act more like the store bought powdered sugar.
For anything that uses yeast the hard red and hard white are better, they have better gluten formation to give structure to breads and baked goods that need to rise. Anything without yeast, a soft white is best. There is a soft red wheat berry also but I have never used it, I couldn't speak to the flavor.
Can't wait to try them! So how does these differ from the Sue Becker cinnamon rolls in taste or texture? I have two of her cookbooks, but have not tried her cinnamon rolls yet.
She uses her basic bread dough recipe, which is great, but this one is a little lighter in flavor. I think it's more suited for sweet baked goods in general but both are great.
Is all this dough going into making the cinnamon rolls, or did you divide the dough in 3 parts and used 2 parts to make 2 loaves of bread and 1 part to make the cinnamon rolls?
So usually ⅔ cup berries yields 1 cup flour. There is a bit of variation between different grains. So 4 cups berries should be roughly 6 cups flour. There is a picture online if you Google cups of wheat berries to flour conversion chart. I don't know how to upload my picture of it lol. I'm challenged when it comes to technology.
I use regular liquid honey. Do you have any idea how much I should use and how that might affect the liquid balance of the rest of the recipe? (I've never even seen honey granules!) Also: do you know of any good places to purchase organic whole grains in the Austin or Round Rock area?
I can't give you an answer on the honey, the liquid would throw off the dough, you would need more flour but that throws off ratios elsewhere. I wish I could help. If it's just in the filling it shouldn't be too different. You can look up sucanat on Amazon, honey granulous is just sucanat with dehydrated honey crystals added. For the organic grains, the Natural Grocer is a great shop! They have most of the grains you could ever think of! Most are organic! I shop at a Natural Grocer and love the selection. I think the Austin Arbor Walk store has the better selection of the greater area, but all are great.
Yes! I was able to get 25 lbs. of organic spelt there and they also have 25-lb. bags of Prairie Gold hard white spring wheat (non-GMO). Well, they don't HAVE them, but you can order those and they come in about a week or so later. I was disappointed that they don't take orders for large bags of organic rye or hard red wheat, but super happy about the spelt and prairie gold. They are so much less expensive in bulk, and stored in food grade 5-gallon buckets that keep out the moisture and the pests grains can last many years. Something like 30 years (but I'd be 100 years old by then, LOL). You just need a bucket opener (under $10) and a good heavy rubber mallet to close them nice and tight after opening. But for things I don't want large amounts of such as hulled barley -- can't remember why, but for now I would only want to buy that in smaller amounts like they have at Natural Grocers. I love that store, though I only make it over there once every few months.@@realfoodgoodfood
Well, it's tricky. I order from Breadbeckers co-op. I'm waiting on my order now. I can't find any reputable brands to order otherwise. I know there has to be an easier way, I'm still looking. I have found a couple "crystalized sugar cane with honey" options but the reviews aren't great and I don't have money to waste trying a bunch of different brands. I'm going to keep digging, I'll let you know when I find something easier and good quality .

I wish you could show us the inside of the mixer while it’s working 😊
I love your explanations.
I will do that, thank you! I'm doing a pie crust video today so I won't use the mixer but next video I will.
This recipe is amazing, can't wait to try.
Thank you!

Great tip!
Hi love your video my question is what berries do you recommend hard white? Soft white? Thank you

This recipe I only use for cinnamon rolls, so what you make you use all for the rolls. I've never made bread with it, it could be very good.
I tried to find your silicone mat that you use to fold over for the pie dough on Amazon. I could not find that particular mat anywhere.
I just looked, if you go to doughez.com you'll find it. I'm sorry I said incorrectly Amazon.
Could you tell us how many cups of grains you are milling to get 6 cups of flour?
Thank you.

Thanks for explaining about the honey granules. Sounds like a good thing to try out!@@realfoodgoodfood
Where do you get your honey granules??
