I found this video from your article. Your article is by far the best article I've read on home milled bread. I haven't been autolyzing at all and am totally going to try it now. The tips you gave are fantastic and I can tell you've been doing this for awhile. I also started with a Kitchen Aid mixer but now that I have a Wondermill that I bought off a friend and make bread once a week. I'm also going to kneed my bread longer now. My bread was coming out crumbly and getting holes in the centre but now I realize I wasn't autolyzing and kneading long enough. Thanks!
Thank you so much Randy! That means a lot! :) I was a teacher for 10 years and love to write and explain things and am so happy when people find them helpful. Let me know how it goes! I’d been through lots of trial and error with this process for sure.
this video tipped the scale for me. i decided to order a Mockmill standmixer mill for my kitchenaid. i'm not going all-in on anything else yet until I do this a few times. i also have hard white on order. i'll be trying your recipe soon.
I love this!!! Have so much fun on your baking adventures! Don’t get discouraged if it takes some time to get the hang of things. I think it took me about 8 months to feel I was getting a handle on fresh milled flour. My goal is to help people get there faster than I did, but it will still take some practice. Happy baking!!
@@thesweetsimplethings it was perfect on my first try. the mockmill kitchenaid attachment was easy to dial in and worked great but took about 30 minutes for 500g. everything else turned out exactly as you described including the final loaf. thanks for helping me get to a starting place.
Yes I make sure I stand right next to the mixer to monitor, but it’s not a dense dough so I’ve never had an issue. But if you want to use speed 2, you can. That’s what I do for firmer doughs.
Yes, I’m sure that would be just fine! I’ve never done the swap myself but I don’t see why not. You would probably be fine leaving it out, too. The lemon juice just helps it be less crumbly, but I imagine the ACV could accomplish the same. Let me know if you try it!
@@thesweetsimplethings my last batch of bread I used two eggs instead of one, and for the first time ever my bread wasn't crumbly. (because of the fat in the extra egg I reduced the oil from 1/3 to 1/4 of a cup.)

@@robertebob Amazing!!! So glad it worked great!!!
It is recommended to not knead above Speed 2 with your KitchenAid mixer per manual instructions..
Yes I make sure I stand right next to the mixer to monitor, but it’s not a dense dough so I’ve never had an issue. But if you want to use speed 2, you can. That’s what I do for firmer doughs.
Can the lemon juice be swapped out for raw apple cider vinegar?
Lemon juice is not something that I have on hand usually.
Yes, I’m sure that would be just fine! I’ve never done the swap myself but I don’t see why not. You would probably be fine leaving it out, too. The lemon juice just helps it be less crumbly, but I imagine the ACV could accomplish the same. Let me know if you try it!

@@life_with_sunshine I love this! I’m going to give it a try next time I make this loaf!
