Like a fire!

the wheat was dry! and so we threshed it, collected the wheat berries, ground them up and made some bread, all in one fell swoop!

here is the wheat and the finished collection of grain

now i was going to go way old school and grind this stuff between two rocks, but there is a line between doing cool old school stuff and adding particulate stone material to my foodstuffs. that would be the line.

so instead i hit it with the coffee grinder, did it in stages and here is what i ended up with:

well, sheeeeeet, that them there looks like sum mighty fine whole grain flour!

baking then ensued.

i used a simple recipe of:

3 cps flour

.25 tsp live yeast

fatty pinch o' salt

1.5 cps water (note: seems this was too much water, maybe it was the recipe, maybe it was the flour, shrug...)

mix and let rise for 4 hours

knead up and rise for another 30 min

baked at 350 till it 'looked right'

aaand voila!

yep. pretty tasty lookin. and it was. tasty. it was consumed with butter and honey. it was the noms.
