  • I had been thinking about buying a mill for a couple of years and plenty of you have been asking me about home milling. My plan was to finally buy a Mockmill Lino 200 as a Christmas present for myself this year.
    Coincidentally, a very nice person from Mockmill emailed me and offered to send me the exact mill that I was going to buy anyway before I pulled the trigger. German Santa came early and made my Christmas!
    The mill arrived, I unpacked it and checked it out. It looked great, but I did not use it because I wanted to record my first bake using freshly milled flour. So, it has been a couple of months since I received it and now, I’m trying it for the first time.
    I can’t say I had done a huge amount of research in preparation for this bake. Besides reading a couple of extremely well put together and informative articles on www.breadbakingathome.com

    I’m on the same journey with you. Just started milling less than a month ago. Trying all different types of flour. I have joined several Facebook groups. Found that most people make whole-grain loaves that are more like sandwich bread that they bake in a pan. They often add extra wheat, gluten, lecithin, honey, egg, potato flakes, vit c or lemon juice, etc. Very hard to find someone who actually makes a traditional loaf of bread or even a traditional sour dough loaf of bread with freshly milled grain. Most people attempt to go back to the old method of kneading the bread with mixers. They knead anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes until they get a positive window pane test. I’m not convinced that this is the way to go. I can’t believe that you just did a couple of stretch and folds and cooked that loaf and it still turned out OK even though it looked very dense. I’m very excited to see how you progress in this journey. And I am hoping to learn a lot from your experience.

      Keep experimenting! There are so many ways to bake with FMF. I do agree that the FB groups are filled with sandwich loaves. My favorite FMF bread is a no-knead focaccia. But I also make pizza crusts nearly every week. It really is so versatile as it was all that was available up until recently!

    I second adjusting according to the dough. Made two loafs, one whole wheat one 80% whole wheat. I noticed the 100% wasn't building as much gluten during my folds for cold fermentation. So I adjusted and let it sit out for 5mins and gave it an extra fold before continuing the cold fermentation. Both loafs turned out the same even with slightly different methods. This channel helped me learn how to adjust on the fly 🤙😎

    I love my freshly milled bread. I make sandwich bread and dinner rolls at about 78-79% hydration, no added lecithin or gluten. But I do like adding egg since I have chickens. I have never sifted the bran, but it looks like a yummy crust.
    Your protein content seems low. I think my wheat is around 14%
    With a higher hydration content I find that mine is usually nice and fluffy and well-risen.
    My favorite thing to make is a focaccia. I do 88% hydration and 1.5% instant yeast in the fridge overnight. Sometimes I do a fold or two but I honestly have not noticed a difference.
    You asked for resources… I watched a lot of videos of people using FMF on RUclips, but then I found your channel and actually learned how to bake bread from you! I just applied it to freshly milled flour. That’s when I went from just following recipes to baking more intuitively. That being said, I often use a mixer to knead and don’t even do more than one rise when I’m just whipping up bread for dinner. It turns out great every time and we love the flavor of FMF.

    Yay! Mock mill!
    after sifting out the bran, i send the bran thru the Mock mill one more time and sift again. This remilling seems to reduce overall sifting time. I use 42% all-purpose flour for fluffiness at about 83% overall hydration. I fold in bran with the later stretch and fold iterations. Having some all purpose flour in the dough provides consistency while trying different grains.

    I've baked with freshly milled flour for decades. I have bought a series of electric mills and a couple of hand mills. Most of the time I've used the whole flour, bran, germ and all. It makes for a denser loaf, but not as heavy as some people fear. The taste is excellent, and the nutrition complete. I'll try your recipe and also try my cast iron pan w lid

    • @mikewurlitzer5217
      @mikewurlitzer5217 4 месяца назад

      I use 100% hard white wheat and never have a dense loaf but I use the Yudane method and it has never failed. It provides a soft loaf and the Yudane method dials back the bitterness of the bran and seems to enhance the natural sweetness of their grain. A longer shelf life is a plus but rarely needed.

      Be careful about seed wheat. I once convinced a guy at the White Wheat (growers association- or whatever it was called) in Atchison Kansas to sell me a few fifty pound bags of white wheat even though it was for planting purposes. (This was 2008 or so and people were expecting a wheat shortage.) I’d driven a way to get there expecting commercial grade, bagged wheat berries but they were all out. If you buy a small quantity, clean it, maybe deep freeze it and use it right away it may work out. My greed caused some grief when boll weevils hatched out in the wheat bags. That was a loss. Just sayin’.

    I also autolyse leaving out about 30 gr of water for at least 45 to 60 minutes, then add the 30 gr water and yeast.

    About 10 years ago I started spouting wheat. About a year ago I upgraded my equipment with a Komo Classic mill and love it. I do not sift the bran out of the flour. I have found that if I use 33% of the spouted wheat with 66% bread flour it's the perfect balance without decreasing the oven spring. I feed my sourdough starter with a 50/50 blend of sprouted wheat and bread flour. Adding sprouted wheat to feed the starter is like using rocket fuel. It's start bubbling within a few minutes. I usually put my bread into the refrigerator when it's already to bake for 1 to 2 days. That enhances the flavor and makes easier to have warm bread when you want it. Glad you are going down this exciting path!

  • @lousauseda3012
    @lousauseda3012 3 месяца назад

    I’ve had my Mockmill for a few years now and I minimize the grain heating by chilling the grain then I double mill it. The first grind is at the course setting which grinds and cracks the grain quickly then I adjust the stones to the finest setting and run the course ground though. It works great for me and I hope others find this useful.

      My mill is electric but has a hand crank if electric goes away. I haven't had to use that feature, but I've been told if you make the milling a two-step process, it goes easier. First time through, grind to a "cracked" stage, second time around grind to flour.

    Few years back I wanted to learn to make whole wheat bread. Buying and shipping it seemed to be a bit expensive. I found a local farmer friend that if I provided the 5 gal buckets he would give me, from the combine, wheat at his market price. (very cheap) I got a wonder Jr manual mill and turned it until my arms ached every morning and by Sat I had enough for a loaf of bread. The wheat was a soft white winter type common in Illinois. I quickly learned that to get a lighter loaf I needed to add a tablespoon of store bought gluten per cup of flour. I sift the milled flour and use what doesn't pass the sifter on the bottom of the loaf or rolls to avoid greasing the pans. I bake on either cast Iron dutch oven or pizza stone. Lots of options resulting in always good bread.
    I think my farmer friend is still laughing at me. He asked if I would be interested in oats. It turns out that when he combines the oats it doesn't remove the husk. When I tried to mill it in this state the hulls would come out as sharp long needles and clogged the sifter and couldn't density separate. I still have 2 five gal buckets of oats and am looking for a reasonable way to removed the husk?

    • @ChainBaker
      @ChainBaker  4 месяца назад

      Sprinkling the coarser bits in the baking tin to prevent sticking sounds like a great tip! Not sure how you would separate the husks. I can imagine how they clog up the sieve. Perhaps you could grind the oats a couple times to make the husk pieces smaller?!

    On the topic of strengthening the dough, have you ever tried to add wheat gluten? At a 70% ratio you'd need max 10 grams (if you're around 400gr per loaf).
    I add to my dough and strengthens the dough pretty good. However, you're the pro, you'd for sure do magic with it.

    I got my mill a few months ago. I have found an autolyse essential to help soften the edges of the “sharp” flour and bran.
    The type of wheat berry matters a lot too. 10% berries are almost pastry levels of gluten as most protein is in the bran. Hard red wheat berries (best for bread, and is around 14%). I prefer a mix of hard red and hard white.
    One problem I have is all of the static created by milling. I normally spritz the berries before I mill kinda like coffee to prevent this.
    Something I really want to learn more about is a desem starter. It’s supposed to have an almost fruity taste, but it’s harder to start than sourdough. I’m currently trying to convert my sourdough start to desem, but we’ll see how it goes.
    I’d also love to see recipes that involve bran like bran muffins or what have you. Super hungry for more recipes from you!

    Would it work to mill it multiple times, stepping down the size each time, getting down all the way to 0, like you would with a pasta machine? If I am eating whole wheat, I prefer it to be as fine as possible, but I wouldn’t want to overstress an expensive machine.

    I have been using your whole wheat sandwich loaf recipe using a yudane with my freshly milled flour and it turns out great every time. I haven't sifted out the bran, I think I'll try that just to see how the loaf turns out. I also read in one of my groups that they let their flour rest for 30 days before they use it. Don't remember why though, I'll have to look it up again😅 something to do with enzymes or whatnot.

    My personal recipe is: add 2% gluten to flour and water; knead shortly without yeast and let 1 hour the flour to hydrate; knead vigorously (machine) for 10 minutes; add yeast and 2% dried malt extract; knead vigorously (machine) for 10 minutes; add 2% butter and 1% salt; knead vigorously (machine) for 10 minutes. Rest for 1 hour, 1 hour 15; deflate the mass; rest another hour; deflate the mass; score the surface (and put in the pan if you use a pan); rest another hour; cook until the inside of the loaf is 95°C. Turn off the heat but - my personal preference - let the bread cool down slowly in the oven. Take out of the pan when at ambient temperature, and let it dry well. Wait 24 hours from the bake before eating, lest you find humidity in the loaf.
    It's a lot of kneading, but it creates wonderful wholemeal bread. I don't use home milled flour yet, but I plan to make the purchase, although I would prefer a mill with a variable speed. With wholemeal bread, kneading and kneading and kneading is what I think makes the difference. Hydration is also important.

    The wheat I recently purchased for milling actually seems TOO strong. Hard red wheat berries from Azure Standard. It was soo resistive to stretching. Springs right back after pulling on it haha. So I added soft white wheat berries into the mix and the dough acts much better now. Just like bread flour in my opinion! But a little grainy-er because of the bran obviously. And I’ve found that once the flour and bran soak up the water after fermenting for a while, the bran doesn’t cut the gluten much at all.

  • @sophiatr730
    @sophiatr730 2 месяца назад

    Thank you! I've been learning to bake bread with FMF with mixed results, but maybe because I have been using sprouted hard red wheat and sprouted spelt. Looking forward to seeing how you convert regular bread recipes to make them FMF-friendly. Have you tried sourdough with freshly milled flour yet? IME, that's much easier than yeast loaves.

    • @ChainBaker
      @ChainBaker  2 месяца назад

      Yes, acidity helps a lot when it comes to gluten strength. When it comes to yeast breads with FMF I'd stick to cold bulk fermentation ruclips.net/video/jWL7rTtbAcQ/видео.htmlsi=K15yBY2ZW3mdjtJM

      I can't find the answer to that question. Here in the UK flour is generally weaker than in the US and Canada. In the next video I will try cold fermenting. It really helps with gluten strength in the case of this flour.

    I restarted baking when I saw the stores charging more and more for the better breads. Unfortunately, I discovered that they want to charge at least $1/lb. for good flour. Rye flour was even worse, so I switched from buying flour in the store to buying flour at a restaurant supply house, where I discovered that flours can be obtained for about $.50/lb. I use a mixer because I have some family members who are allergic to the gluten containing grains, otherwise, I would embrace the no knead method. I particularly admire an old French man I see in a RUclips video making bread in an old stone building using an old stone oven. He pulls the dough from a wooden box, roughly shapes it, and puts it in the oven. He scores the loaves with his old pocket knife, probably the same one he uses to pick his teeth with. I need to build a baking hut somewhere. Unfortunately, home ground flour is NOT economical, because the grain is being held captive by shysters hawking organic, or other nonsense, even though they may just buy the grain from any old farm.

    Do you think for some or other reason the freshly milled grain has less gluten than the ones we buy in store? If thats the case then maybe it needs to be refined more? I dont know… Keep up the good videos! 🤙🏼

      The heritage wheat that I use is naturally lower in gluten than the modern hybridized varieties. You could get stronger freshly milled flour by using modern varieties of wheat but those will also have a lower nutritional value.

      Aging the flour will also make the germ go somehow rancid. Professional mills generally eliminate the germ, or treat it thermally to make it stable. The joy of a home mill is the absolute freshness of the flour. If you imitate the product of a mill, you defeat its purpose IMO.
