YOU CAN ALSO COOL YOUR LOAVES BY PUTTING THEM ON THE LOAF PANS THIS WORKS WELL ALSO IF U COAT THE TOPS WITH ALIGHT COAT OF SHORTENING OR MARGERINE AND PUT A TEA TOWEL OVER THE LOAVES THIS MAKES A NICE SOFT CRUST
how long do you usually knead for? and then how long do you let rise? It was not clear in your video. Thanks!
mine NEVER rises and comes out heavy and flat
These were SO Delicious! Thank you! :) I used 100% Kamut flour, since it is in between the hard and soft wheats, and they turned out SO good! Thank you for giving the exact measurement for the wheat berries to grind, I appreciate that!
JUST GOT MY FIRST INSTANT POT…I SEEN YOGURT SETTING GOT FLIPPIN EXCITED AS SOMEHOW IT CAME WITH NO MANUAL OR RECIPES. HOWEVER FIRST THING COOKED IN IT WAS A DEER ROAST w/real garlic, onion,etc. FOLLOWED BY CUT UP CARROTS & POTATOES ALL MADE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL POT WHICH HAS ME IN AWE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EASY STEP BY STEP & VISUAL Directions. GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤😊
I'm so glad i found your video! I appreciate the step by step and your simplicity in explanations! I'm so excited to start baking my own bread. I'm waiting on my mockmill to arrive!
Can this be done with normal yeast (not instant)?
Add a cup of powdered milk in at a 110 stirring it up and it makes it thicker add you cultured yogurt after that.
I have tried this twice. Apparently not a good recipe to cut in half. Thought it was my yeast, but got new and had only slightly better results.😢
Great recipe 😊 Thank you 😊
My pleasure 😊
I just watched 6 videos on how to make yogurt. I'm going with your method. Thanks for sharing.
Need your two chicken recipes.
Have you made cinnamon raisin bread yet, if so would love to try your recipe
You go girl, I joined to try all. This bread is wonderful, just love it and so darn easy, thank you so much. Going to your web site to see what I want to try…keep up the good work..
Just watched your video. Thank you for sharing! I'm new to bread making, wanting to make some healthier choices for my family. But I don't have my own mill yet. So I'mm just trying to find the best quality flour and ingredients I can for the time being. How many cups of "milled" flour would you say is in your recipe? I know you said 6 cups of berries...but what does that yield?
Hi! So glad I found this video! I was looking to buy whole grain and I just made my first azure order, thanks to your video/information! How do you store the 50lbs of grains? Do you store it in food grade buckets with nitrogen?
Welcome to Azure! 😁 I store my grains in food grade buckets. I don't use an oxygen absorber or anything because we use it within a year. If you find my pantry tour, you'll see the buckets!
I just made my first batch of yogurt in the instant pot, and it turned out so good!!
I'm so glad to hear that!
Would you mind sharing where you purchase your wheat and honey from? I’m in Idaho and the company I want to purchase from is in GA and the shipping is outrageous. Just curious if there’s a more practical way that I’m missing.
Both the wheat and honey are from Azure. 😊 I hope you like it!
@@homemakingwithjoy thanks for responding! I’m binge watching all your videos! You are awesome! Thanks for all the information and detailed videos! It’s been so helpful. 🙏🫶
@@aprilchastain8194 you are so kind. 🥰 I tried to create the videos that would have been helpful to me when I started my freshly milled journey; I'm glad it worked. Happy baking! 😁
Keep eye on that coating on your pan. I have one too and the pan developed white circles in the coating and those spots became not non stick! So upset cause they are not cheap! Sad but wearing you to keep eye on it! Mine were almost four years old when I noticed the white circles had to tilt to side to see them at first.
Thank you for the heads up! What a bummer. I use them often and will keep an eye out for that.
That was a great tutorial! Thanks!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
So this is a large batch? Do you just double the ingredients and the timing stays the same? Also do you put two trays in the oven or wait and do one at a time 😊
Keep up with the good videos
Thank you; I appreciate the encouragement!
Would farro or khorasan wheat work
It’s sad that you have to comment on the onions in the pan,,, too many Karens out there.
When I decided to put some of my life on the Internet, I knew I'd have to combat some of this. 🤷🏼♀️ It's part of the job!
I really love the taste of this bread. I just got a Nutrimill mixer and used it for the first time last night. What a big difference. I was using my Kitchen Aide before. I never got a window pane like this so fast. I cut this recipe in half thinking I could get one loaf. It was ginormous. lolol. I usually only bake one loaf at a time. I am thinking I could decrease maybe a 1/2 cup less berries and a less water to make just one loaf. It's just my husband and I. Any idea on portions for making just one loaf? Thanks.
Beautiful bread
Thank you!
Can you make a smaller batch
Thank you. I’d much rather use the Insta Pot than stove top. Delicious recipe works perfectly. And thank you for the whey tip too. No longer does it go down the drain😊
Thank you for sharing I made it and it was 😋😋😋 Can you please tell me your experience about your mockmill machines I am looking forward for my 😢shipment is it quite or too loud please let me know thanks again
I'm so glad you liked it! The Mockmill is loud, but any mill would be. I like how uniformly it grinds my wheat & it's so handy on my countertop. 😊

Hi Joy, I followed the instructions to a T, including using the same Instant Pot. Did the 180 degree heat, 110 water bath and had it on for 8 1/2 hours (I also had to go to Bed). Used whole milk and added a brand called Holy Kraut Greek Yogurt Culture which instructed me at the beginning to put the culture in 2 tbsp of milk and let it sit while I was prepping everything which I did. Their instructions are very similar to yours as they also use the Instant Pot as a possible option. This morning I was so disappointed as my Yogurt was basically milk...is there something I can do to salvage this. If I got "greek" non flavored yogurt, followed the steps again but did the premade Yogurt for my culture, could I salvage it rather than throwing everything out. I end have the same glasss lid you have for your Instant pot. Any tips would be so welcomed, Paulette - Vernon, BC Canada
I made this today. The 3rd recipe of yours. Great make ahead meal and very tasty. I made this while making your chocolate chip cookies and bake oatmeal.
Wow, what a compliment! Thanks for watching and trying the recipes!
This was my second recipe of yours I made today. Super easy, will eat it tomorrow morning.
I hope you enjoyed it! My family always does. 😊
I just tried this recipe and it was fabulous. It is my first recipe using fresh milled flour. I was so intimidated to use fresh flour because so many videos show things that do not turn out correctly, but this cookie recipe turned out perfect. The only thing I changed was I reduced the amount of chocolate chips. Because I think recipes are too sweet, but these cookies turned out perfect. They did not flatten out too much, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Watch releasing the steam under a towel, I use to do that a lot. Over time all the stickers, faux metal films on top of the lid are now peeling from the steam.
I like turning this on and listening to you every time I make it. It makes it more enjoyable. :-))
How kind of you! I do the same thing with CZcamsrs that I enjoy "hanging out with." 😊
Hello! May I have your slow cooker bacon ranch chicken recipe, please? Love your videos, btw. I'm now a once a week yogurt maker thanks to your videos. 😊
I too think baking items are usually too sweet. I’m going to give your recipe a try. I just got a grain mill, so can’t wait.
I used 2 1/2 cups freshly milled soft white wheat flour, and 1 1/2 cups milk and my batter is much more liquid than yours, am I missing something? I followed the recipe listed in the description
Your little boy is the sweetest and so smart!
He sure is! 😁
I might have missed it, can starter reserved be frozen? Or how can it be saved and for how long?
Yes, you can freeze your starter. When it's time to thaw it, though, sit it out on the counter--don't microwave it. I have some in my freezer right now!
If using instant yeast, don't add it until after you hydrate the flour - which I do for 30 minutes. Then I add yeast and knead for 15 - 20 minutes before it passes the window pane test.
I am at the exact 7 minute marker. You ground 6 cups of hard white wheatberries but how many cups of flour did it produce?
Which brand of wheat berries do you recommend
I get all of my wheat berries from Azure Standard.
I always add my store-bought, favorite flavor (Vanilla) to my cooled milk. I want my yogurt to taste like what I buy at the store. You can also add some sweetened condensed milk to make it sweeter. I like mine with a milder taste so I incubate for 6 hours, starting early in the morning. Thanks for your recipe. hugs, Donna 😊
So i had this problem. I tried the crock pot, the stove, the dutch oven. But instant pot on its regular mode, not the slow cooker mode is the very best, especially as a mississippi roast with carrots and potatoes. I sear the big sides for about 2 minutes each side, do high pressure for 1 hour and a natural release for 15 minutes. The release time makes a huge difference! It falls apart so easily that i have to scoop it out of the pot!
Temperature you mention is it i. Fahrenheit or centigrade
Fahrenheit
I am so appreciative of your videos! I'm new to milling my own flour and had several failures... I watched this video over and over, I don't even know how many times. I finally went for it, and my bread came out amazing! We actually look forward to eating this bread😊
I'm so glad that you stuck with it & my video was helpful for you!
Couldn't find how to share picture
Use your method with berries and followed part of another ingredients from a book ,Back to basics , it calls for milk,butter,salt in pot till bubbles on side then add to proofed yeast then add flour. I started with 3cof my milled flour then added 1c till not sticky. It called for 400° 50min so I stayed with that part and checked it at 40min. and it was done. I made 2 loaves it was a bit cool today so it took awhile to rise 50min or so, they look nice we'll see how they slice
