I DID IT - Freshed Milled and Baked Bread!





Thanks to Judy Laquidera's, CJ of Tinkle Times' and Keeping you in Stitches' great blogs with their encouraging pics, links, directions and experiences, I bought a Nutrimill grain mill and Bosch Universal Mixer, and all the bread making goodies from Pleasant Hill Grain, Wheat grain from Montana Wheat Farms.

Following the directions in "No More Bricks", a how to bake bread book by Lori Viets (awesome book), I milled and mixed, kneaded and baked my very first Whole Wheat bread loaves.

Wow, the loaves turned out great and tasted even better, yum. The only sad thing was that it took me so long to get going today with other errands, they weren't done until 6 pm. and no one was home yet! But, the family will be so glad to have fresh baked bread when they do get back.

I have always felt cooking and baking challenged with no early experience and only my own trial and error cooking before, so this is exciting for me.
