Every year for the past 10+ years, hubs has participated in the Scott Firefighter Stairclimber in Seattle, WA. Firefighter participants, from around the World, climb 1600+ stairs in all of their gear and on air to bring awareness and donations to the Leukemia/Lymphoma society. This is a serious feat and hubs smashes it every year. He usually completes the stair-climb in 13-15 minutes. This usually puts him as one of the top 20 finishers of all the competitors. Not bad for a 44 year old fart. We are very proud of him and can’t wait to cheer him on this…

I can’t believe I didn’t think about making these sooner. Baked, fresh milled sourdough maple bars! They turned out to be so delicious. They were more like little loaves of bread rather than donuts, but delicious none the less. I will make these again for sure. I doubled the recipe and used 4 cups of flour (480g) and 1 cup (240g) of sourdough discard. I also used 1 cup of maple syrup. Fresh milled sourdough hamburger buns were a success, per usual. 420g of flour and 120g of active starter were used. Our hamburgers turned out great with these buns.…

I was really excited to try these blueberry lemon sourdough sticks. They are essentially a brioche dough topped with a blueberry compote and then cut into sticks. Sweet, savory, and tangy all in one bite. I used 150g of discard and 360g of fresh milled flour. The recipe called for 55g of milk, however, with fresh milled flour absorbing more liquids, I chose to use 70g of milk. I also used 120g of greek yogurt instead of sour cream. We had some orders for bagels this week. I used my go-to recipe and used 240g of active starter. The recipe…

First up this week, we made some sourdough discard cinnamon roll muffins. These used 360g of fresh milled flour and 150g of discard. I used 200g of warm milk instead of the 165g the recipe called for knowing that the fresh milled flour absorbs more liquid. I added the filling, but left off the cream cheese frosting to keep the carb count down. Super delicious and fun to make. Next, we made some fresh milled sourdough hamburger buns to restock our freezer. These are made with seven ingredients and are amazing EVERY time. They hold up well and have a…

This week we needed more sourdough hoagie rolls for lunches and dinners. These fresh milled sourdough hoagie rolls are made with only 6 ingredients. They taste amazing, are filling, and hold up to whatever you put on them. I double the recipe every time so that I will have extras to freeze. I used 720g of fresh milled flour and 1 cup (240g) of active starter. I used sugar instead of honey and melted butter instead of oil. I also used milk instead of water. I really love making donuts in my donut pan. It makes things so easy and…

Our middle son is a bit of a foodie and received a waffle maker for Christmas. He has been asking me for waffles ever since. It took me a month, but we finally made it happen. These fresh milled waffles were light, fluffy, full of flavor, and so easy to make. We will most certainly make them again. I measured out 240g of wheat berries for the recipe. I usually need to double recipes to feed my three growing boys, but this one actually made 8 nice sized waffles. No need to double it. I used my pancake dispenser and…

We made another round of sourdough Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. This is a treat on repeat at our house. I literally make a batch every week. The process is so easy and you can use active or discard starter. I usually double the recipe and use 370g of fresh milled flour and 240g of discard. Next we made Fresh milled sourdough buns . I use these for sandwiches, hamburgers, or just as a roll with chili. So versatile. These are sweet and savory. I doubled the recipe and used 840g of fresh milled flour. I also used 240g of active…

Well, clearly I was craving fruit and chocolate this week. I came across these strawberry chocolate chip sourdough scones and knew they must be recreated with fresh milled flour. I used 300g of fresh milled flour and 50g of active starter. The recipe called for 1 cup of fresh cut strawberries. Some prep work was necessary, but I think it was worth it after trying these. Of note, I also used fresh cut strawberries in my cookies this week so I prepped those at the same time. Work smarter, not harder, right??!! Last week, the bagels I made were already…

My kids love brownies. They prefer a more fudgy brownie . These lovelies were perfect. The recipe called for bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder. So, you know it’s going to hit the mark on your chocolate cravings. I used 65g of fresh milled flour to make these. I served these brownies with some Coco Whip and they were delicious. The coco whip is a nice dairy free alternative to cool whip. It is amazing. I made another round of fresh milled sourdough bagels this week. I’m always trying to perfect the technique. I used Barley Malt syrup instead of honey…

I’ve been on the hunt to find the perfect recipe for buttery, flakey biscuits. A common problem with fresh milled flour products are they turn out dense and sup par. So, I was hopeful that this fresh milled biscuit recipe would be “the one”. And, it was! So yummy, buttery, and flaky. They were the perfect pairing with Hubby’s homemade chili. I’m really impressed with how they turned out. I used 550g of soft white wheat for this recipe. Next time, I will use a bit more as they were pretty soft and sticky. I also used 1 1/2 cups…
