Exploring Whole Grains: Recipes to Make with Your WonderMill Grain Mill
If you’re looking to elevate your cooking and baking game, using whole grains is a fantastic way to do it. With the WonderMill Grain Mill, you can easily grind fresh flour from a variety of grains right in your kitchen. This article explores different recipes that you can create using freshly milled flour and highlights the wonderful benefits of incorporating whole grains into your diet.
Why Choose Whole Grains?
Whole grains are packed with nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Unlike refined grains that have been stripped of their nutrients during processing, whole grains retain all parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm. This means they offer more health benefits such as improved digestion, heart health, and even weight management. By milling your own grains with the WonderMill Grain Mill, you ensure that you’re getting fresh flour that maximizes these health advantages.
Baking Fresh Whole Wheat Bread
One of the best uses for your WonderMill Grain Mill is baking homemade bread. To make a simple whole wheat bread loaf: start by milling hard red wheat berries into flour using your mill. Combine 3 cups of freshly milled whole wheat flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar, 2 tablespoons of oil (like olive or vegetable), and 1 packet (or about 2 ¼ teaspoons) of yeast dissolved in warm water (about 110°F). Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth; let rise until doubled in size before baking at 350°F for approximately 30-35 minutes.
Delicious Pancakes from Scratch
Pancakes made from freshly ground flour are a delightful breakfast treat. For fluffy pancakes using your WonderMill: combine one cup each of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour (or just use more whole wheat if preferred), two tablespoons sugar, one tablespoon baking powder, half a teaspoon salt in a bowl. In another bowl mix together one egg, one cup milk (or buttermilk), and two tablespoons melted butter or oil. Combine both mixtures gently; cook on a hot griddle until bubbles form—flip to cook through. Enjoy these delicious pancakes topped with fruits or maple syrup.
Nutritious Oatmeal Cookies
Using oat groats milled fresh can transform ordinary oatmeal cookies into something extraordinary. To make oatmeal cookies: mill rolled oats in your WonderMill until fine but still somewhat coarse for texture. Mix one cup each of this oat flour with brown sugar (1 cup), white sugar (½ cup), vanilla extract (1 tsp), melted butter or coconut oil (½ cup), eggs (2 large), baking soda (½ tsp) and salt to taste along with chocolate chips if desired. Bake at 350°F for about ten minutes or until golden brown—great as snacks or desserts.
Creating Homemade Pizza Dough
Freshly ground pizza dough will take your pizza nights up a notch. For an easy recipe: mill hard durum wheat berries into semolina-like texture then mix it with warm water (about 110°F – half a cup) mixed well with yeast; let it sit for ten minutes before adding three cups milled flour along with salt; knead until elastic then let rise before shaping into crusts which can be topped however you like. Bake at high heat on stone or tray till crispy perfection is achieved—enjoy each bite knowing it’s made from wholesome ingredients.
