dogmom4 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Jewelz, what kind of a grinder is that? And for everyone who is baking bread...can these loaves be sliced for something similar to sandwich bread? Quote Link to comment
Jasminegirl Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 When we were growing up, my Mom use to slice our loaves into bread slices. Sure was good with all that homemade jelly and also when it was warm, it was good all by itself. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 all for sharing your work with us. The bread and rolls all look so good. I love peanutbutter on fresh buns. Soooooo goooood. I use a piece of waxed paper or paper towel to put shortening on the top of mine, I don't use butter. It has been some time since I've baked bread, and with just me, I wouldn't be able to take pictures. You all did such a great job of showing us how you do it. again. Quote Link to comment
Buttercup Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes the bread can be sliced into sandwich sized pieces.. You just have to cut real slow as to not smash it down.. Although it still may be a little thicker than you are used to. To me there's nothing better than a tomato sandwich on homemade white bread with a little salt and miracle whip! Quote Link to comment
Jewlzm Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 That is a country living grain grinder. I wouldnt get any other kind. It can even be fitted with a belt/motor attatchment. It comes with an extra bar to help make grinding easier also. Yes the bread can be cut into sandwich slices.I make sure it is cool before cutting for sandwiches. We dont buy store bought bread. But we get alot of lunchmeat. So we make lots of sandwiches. Quote Link to comment
Brewguy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm curious why you use fresh wheat and white flour? Why not use all fresh wheat? Quote Link to comment

Jewlzm Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have an all wheat recipe. However. I grind the wheat by hand and it takes 10 cups of wheat flour. I just dont like using all the wheat at once right now LOL. I am having alot of pain in my wrists and elbows because of all of the storms we have been having. And my oldest kid is 11 so its hard to get much wheat ground at once. There is a reason for my madness LOL! Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the tutorial. Quote Link to comment
Jewlzm Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 I love fresh wheat.. However its a bit heavy. And hard to rise without a leavening agent. Im learning to use potato water to help the breads rise. Quote Link to comment
BiscuitMaker Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Great job, great pictures that will be very helpful for people thanks for going to that trouble. Quote Link to comment

I went to their site and it said sometimes they have ones with blemishes...so they sell them cheaper...wonder how much cheaper? Quote Link to comment

HappyCamper45 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I started with Jewlzm and I'm going to work my way down....I did it and the bread was fantastic...My hold family loved watching the different rises and when that bread came out of the oven I had to beat my son back so that it could cool for 10 mins... Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. Quote Link to comment
pauline Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Happycamper it looks wonderful congrats on some great looking loaves Quote Link to comment
WormGuy Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Way to go HappyCamper. Those sure do look pretty. I did four loaves today myself. I'll get around to the pics. Oh..I bought new pans today also. John Quote Link to comment
HappyCamper45 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Four loaves...Who's going to eat all that bread... I have 1 loaf for tomarrow... Is it tomarrow yet? Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Half white, half whole wheat flour makes a lighter loaf. As your family gets more used to it, you can gradually change the ratio of white to whole wheat (more whole wheat). It gets more dense and heavier, but experience will tell you how much *you* like. You don't HAVE to slice the tops. But it looks nice sometimes, especially on round loaves. Round loaves... just follow the directions, except shape the loaves into a flattish ball and let them rise on a greased cookie sheet. Bake as for loaves. Some people dust the cookie sheet with cornmeal before placing the dough on it. WAY TO GO, all of you!!! Great looking breads!!! Quote Link to comment

WormGuy Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Can all of these bread recipes be doubled? John Quote Link to comment
Jewlzm Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 WOoo HOoo Happy Camper!!! Fantastic Job!!! Those look wonderful. Quote Link to comment
Jewlzm Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 John I have a recipe made with the same ingredients that ends up doing 5 loaves. Ill PM you with it when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment
Buttercup Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yes my recipe can be double as well. Quote Link to comment
Brewguy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 what is the best way to keep bread fresh for a week or so? I'd like to make two loaves, I figure we can eat that much in a little over a week. If I let it sit out I'm sure it will be stale in no time. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
