Making Sandwich Bread With Fresh Milled Flour

Making Sandwich bread with fresh milled flour is no easy feat when you are first learning. Even if you are an experienced baker for many many years, fresh milled flour is a whole new ballgame! When I started baking with fresh milled flour, years ago, everything I knew about baking with white flour went out the window. All the tricks I thought I knew didn’t work. And all those “Golden Rules” I always abided by just ended in failure after failure. So, this made me even more determined to figure out why and what I needed to do to change this into success! I was determined that I could create light fluffy loafs just like the sandwich bread I bought at the store…..But better!

Learning To Master Fresh Milled Flour Sandwich Bread

When I was learning, there was very little information out there only a couple resources, and slim to no recipes written specifically for freshly milled flour. I had to figure out, all by trial and error how to master this! Once I began working with fresh milled flour more and more, I began to learn and grow. This is when I decided I should try to teach others everything I have learned. My inspiration bloomed into a Youtube channel, and Blog. I never thought I would do either of those (I am quite introverted), but the calling was just there I guess. So, I just needed to step out of my comfort zone!

I teach tips and tricks in most all of my videos, and blog posts. I am continuing to write new recipes often to share with the world. All of them with exclusively fresh milled flour. I have a passion to spread the word, and teach people how much healthier whole grains are. Also, I want to help people learn what they are putting in their foods, and in turn putting in their bodies.

Switching From White Flour To Fresh Milled Flour

Firstly, don’t start out changing everything at once! It will be difficult to do, as there is a learning curve, and tastebud curve as well. (If that is even such a thing.) Take it slow, and work on mastering one bread, and one or two other non bread recipes. Once you master one bread recipe you will start to develop a feel for how it should look, feel, and move. (*hint I will post a couple great starter bread recipes (other than this one, of course) at the end of this post.) I know it is exciting to try all sorts of new recipes, but often times when people do this, they just think they don’t like fresh milled flour, and stop using it. I promise it will all come to you in due time.

Ingredients To Make This Fresh Milled Flour Sandwich Bread

• 4 cups Fresh Milled Flour 485g (I like to mill about 2 cups hard white, and 2/3 cup Kamut)
• 3/4 cup water 180g
• 3/4 cup milk 180g
• 3 TBSP Butter
• 3 TBSP Sugar or Honey
• 1&1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp instant yeast

Instructions To Make Fresh Milled Flour Sandwich Bread

1. Firstly, Mill the flour
2. Then, to a microwave safe bowl add water, milk, and butter and microwave until the butter is melted completely.
3. Add water/milk/butter mixture to stand mixer bowl, then add sugar, egg, and salt. Mix to combine.
4. Then, add flour to the stand mixer, and start to mix until all the dry flour is gone.
5. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, up to 2 hours to allow the fresh milled flour to absorb the liquid.
6. Then, add the instant yeast. Start to mix the yeast in until combined.
7. Start the kneading process. This could take 25 minutes with fresh milled flour, or less. This varies greatly, so the best way to check if the dough is done being kneaded, is to check for a window pane test. Window Pane Test Video HERE
8. Once a successful window pane test is done, then, cover the dough and let it rise until doubled. This will typically take 1 to 2 hours.

Shaping The Loaf

There are so many ways to shape a loaf of bread, but the most important thing is to make sure you have good surface tension.

1. After the dough has doubled in size, then, divide the dough in half if you are making 2 one pound loaves. Press each piece flat, then roll up to shape. Make sure there is some surface tension, see my video for shaping if you are interested HERE
2. Place in a parchment paper lined 4×8 bread pan, and cover for about 40 minutes until puffy looking.
3. Preheat oven to 400*F towards the end of this second rise time.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 190*F.
5. Take bread out of the oven, and out of the bread tins right away, and place them on a wire cooling rack.
6. Let cool for at least one hour before slicing.
7. Slice to desired thickness, and enjoy!
