Bake day!
Had to decrease my hydration because Einkorn likes to be so elastic and so fun to use!
Happy baking everyone!

This was so fun, so messy, but so rewarding. I saw on a talented baker make this and I had to try it. First, all credit to Rachel. Second, mine is not near as clean and sharp, but I’m still loving it. Third, as always, I only use Barton Spirngs Mill wheat berries.
I’m so glad I saw this weeks ago because I needed a day to release some stress, and this instantly made my day better. School is back and my last baby in kindergarten. The house seems quiet and sad. I may have sat a few days eating junk food and watching Hallmark with my puppy, Gertie. I haven’t figured out this new phase of life, but I’m thankful I can get my hands in dough and make something exciting. Cheers to everyone at hard stages who are making their way; one inspiration at a time.

Hey! It’s been a long time to not post, so I will try my best to get back into it! We’ve been in the process of moving and so today I did a trial run in the new space.
I haven’t used Emmer in so long; I forgot how dark the dough and the bread turns. The oven baked way faster than the old one, but I love a dark crust so I’m happy.

Emmer will not rise well on its own, but it gives extra B vitamins, iron, and protein so it’s a great choice to add to your doughs.

I’m going to grab a slice and find my motivation to unpack boxes in the garage, or just play with the puppy… can’t decide 😜

Milled my favs today! Rouge De Bordeaux and mixed it with some Marquis flour. They have a sweetness to them that is nice for a hard, red wheat, which tends to be more bitter than the white varieties. Both are Texas grown. All the wheat berries I use are from Texas. Local grains are delicious and helps farmers in our state. I may not be the farmer, but I’m proud of their wheat and love to use it in all my breads!

Love my mill too. This Komo brand is from Austria but I swear, after using it this long, it’s a true Texan now.

Orders are full this week. Happy Wheat Wednesday! It’s a thing. Probably.

Milling some Rouge De Bordeaux for bread this weekend! I love my Komo Mill. I also love Texas wheat. If you want to see how fresh grain bread tastes, come out to Pecan Creek Farm and Ranch this Saturday and next and grab some!! I will be there alongside the super talented Baer Bakery from 10:30-1:00!

Quick decisions**
Made my daughter a blueberry and lemon sourdough using 40% Marquis flour from Barton Springs Mill. I didn’t add the fruit/lemon until right before shaping. Last minute adding made for sloppy distribution. Still delicious and teenage vegan approved.

No added sugar; just fresh milled flour, water, levain, salt, blueberries, and lemon zest.

Marquis flour is incredibly flavorful and silky to the touch during the folds. The flavor is nutty and delicate, not any bitterness like you can find in Turkey Red or Tam. It’s a remarkable wheat variety to try!

Love this new series! This is my favorite company for wheat, rye, and great information!

20% Ruby Lee & 20% Turkey Red from Barton Springs Mill.
Didn’t have time for autolyse, but still came out delicious. Always excited to try new wheat and see what it brings to the table. Always makes me happy to have fresh wheat, and one of them grown only 15 miles away! 💚
