Thanks John. That was very informative - I really enjoyed watching. Looking forward to your next video. I’m off to watch your father’s video now. 🙏🏼💗✌️
Hi John we bake our own bread and my would love to mill our own flour. We use a bread maker but only on the dough cycle. We then form it and bake in the oven😊
It should work in any machine that will make a 750g loaf, if you want to make a larger loaf, just increase it proportionally, e.g. if making a 1kg loaf, increase everything by 1/3.
Awesome video! I agree - change the way you live or you may not be able to do what you think you can when you need to! I am going to try those flax seeds in my next loaf - thanks for the tip! I have a manual (hand driven) junior wondermill (from Australia) which looks almost identical to your one. I found I was only capable of grinding 1 cup of flour at a time. I may have been able to get more than that if I practised long enough, but after 3 months I could still only do 1 cup of flour at a time. The flour was never warm. I then purchased a power driven wondermill model (conversion kits not available for in NZ) and you are correct the flour comes out warm because of the speed in which it is milled. Our whole wheat bread machine recipe: ~2 cups water/liquid, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon yeast, 4 cups freshly ground flour. If needed I will use 1 tablespoon of gluten flour per cup of flour for a better rise or I will substitute 1 cup of white flour - depending on what I have available. No sugar because I prefer it that way. No milk because I do not live close to a source of fresh milk so I have learnt to live without it. I still use my hand driven one to grind/crack grains for my chickens.
Great video - keep them coming. I and the rest of your followers are very interested in this and all other areas of being self sufficient you can tel us about.
With baking bread and sourdough i always use a strong flour anything above 12 g protein. I would imagine they would have different categories for unmilled grain to. But good question I must now investigate haha as i plan on milling soon 🤔
I'm baking Artisan sourdough as I'm watching haha I would love to start milling my own grains that is my goal very shortly! Ancient grains to be exact. Appreciate your effort you have helped me alot in my veggie garden!
John this was so interesting as I make all my own bread & bread rolls but definitely have never milled my own flour. Well done mate. Cheers Denise- Geebung Qld
Thanks John, another great informative video. I would be really interested in seeing your solar set up.

First!! Can't wait to see your father's bread making film too!
That was quick!
Yes me too - I think sourdough will be a good solution as I love that bread
Thanks, great to see some Ozzie homestead gear. Looking forward to seeing your off grid system
thanks
Will thus recipe work in any bread machine? Thanks for sharing.

@@homesteading thanks for your reply

How do you know which wheat to buy? Some is better for bread isn't it?

That's great! I'm sure you will enjoy that sourdough!

how come you did not put the bowl on the scales and then zero it to get your flour weight????otherwise you are weighing the bowl and flour ???
I know the combined weight...faster that way and don't have to use a second container.
Looking good mate. Very informative, even if from a Taswegian.🙃😁
