TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING FRESHLY GROUND GRAINS: #1

November 10th, 2009

1. Rainy weather will have some effect on your bread rising.

Rain

The moisture gets trapped more easily in the wheat or grain that has just been ‘cracked’ by milling. It’s more susceptible to absorbing moisture than dead flour that has sat on a shelf for months. So you may need to slightly adjust the water amount in your recipe or add more gluten to the mix to get the bread to rise. I personally avoid bread on rainy days and focus on tortillas and other flat or quick breads.

EnJOY the journey!
Best Blessings!

Honestly, though, it got me thinking and wondering what’s wrong with the typical food storage list. […]
Water, water everywhere nor any a drop to drink.
This line from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner rings more true when thinking of surviving difficult times. As we’ve stated before in at least one email that has gone out to everyone who subscribes, water is more VITAL than food when surviving is the issue. A human body can last at least […]
Learning Survival Skills, Techniques and Planning
Although I would not classify what our family does as being ‘Survivalists’, we do factor that portion of planning and preparing into our ‘Prepping’ lifestyle. The skills, tools, techniques and planning it takes to survive in difficult times have been lost due to the over abundance of conveniences. Even if you don’t plan on ‘roughing […]
