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…

This week’s bakes turned out really well. The chocolate chunk pistachio blondies were a yummy dessert. Full of chocolatey goodness, this dessert didn’t spike our Type 1 diabetic’s blood sugar in the slightest. I used 120g of fresh milled flour in place of the AP flour called for in the recipe. I was worried that the sourdough fruit and nut gourmet crackers were going to be overpowered by the thyme called for in the recipe. But, in the end, the flavor is great! They are savory but also have a hint of sweetness from the dried cranberries. These were fun…

The kids are home from school for the next few weeks to celebrate the Holiday season. So, I am frantically trying to find ways to keep them fed…ha ha ha! I have been wanting to try some Sourdough fruit and nut gourmet crackers for awhile and now seems like the perfect time. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/2 cup AP flour. I will use 1 cup (120g) of fresh milled flour instead. My USA pan loaf pan will be great to bake these in. For desserts this week, we will make chocolate chunk pistachio blondies. These…

We had some fun this weekend. We started with vanilla sprinkle cake donuts . They were really good! Soft, sweet, and filling. The dye free sprinkles added a pop of fun color. This recipe used 180g of fresh milled flour. Instead of using the frosting with the recipe, I used the vanilla whipped ganache frosting that also doubled as the frosting for our Christmas sugar cookies. This frosting was great and only used three ingredients…white chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla bean paste! It was firm, flavorful, and spread easily. I used this donut pan and got a wonderful result.…

Clearly, when researching recipes this week, my sweet tooth was front and center! First up on the menu, are vanilla sprinkle cake donuts. I will used 180g of fresh milled flour to make these. I always use sprinkles that are free of artificial dyes. They will be perfect for these donuts. I will also plan to use my silicone donut pan. Next, baked whole wheat churros. I wanted to find a churro recipe that didn’t require frying in oil, and I think this will be a great option. The recipe calls for chocolate sauce, but I will bypass that and…

Sourdough English muffins were the first bake of the day. My refined recipe and the English muffin pan with the lid really made these easy and delicious. I used 420g of fresh milled flour and 1 cup (240g) of active starter. Up next, sourdough hoagie rolls. These are my go to recipe for hoagie rolls. They always turn out great and are easy to make. Plus, they freeze so well. I double the recipe just to have extra on hand when I need it. I used 720g of fresh milled flour and 240g of active starter. Sourdough Cinnamon Toast Crunch…

We have successfully cleaned out the freezer of all the baked goodies. So, that means we have to restock it! First on the agenda will be my sourdough fresh milled English muffins. I’ll use 420g of fresh milled flour and 1 cup (240g) of active sourdough starter. These will be made in my English muffin pan with a lid . This things is amazing. No pre cooking in a cast iron pan required. Super simple. Next, we’ll make more sourdough hoagie rolls. My kids devour these and they are incredible. They freeze nicely so I will double the recipe. I…

The sourdough bread bowls turned out great! It was nice to be able to do some stretch and folds again instead of my weekly sandwich bread shaping. I switched up the recipe slightly by using 800g of fresh milled flour instead of 700g of bread flour and 100g of whole wheat flour as it was written. I also increased the water amount to 600g instead of 550g to account for the fresh milled flour. What a delight! Hubby made a creamy chicken soup to go in these bread bowls. It was great. Can I just say how tasty the sourdough…
