I made homemade cinnamon rolls last night, from fresh ground wheat berries, that was half the dough batch. I also make a loaf of bread the oven decided to cooperate which is good because I've given up on my bread machine! The rolls were yummy even if I did screw up the recipe, apparently your supposed to use brown sugar with the cinnamon and butter, I used white! They still tasted heavenly.
Making chicken broth I don't have a steam juicer yet so I'm still doing this the old fashioned way. That's 20 pounds of chicken hind quarters in the pot, one whole onion, four carrots, and some salt and pepper - oh and one huge dollop of chopped garlic! This is John's project, mine will be making jam in the morning, after more berry picking in the woods.
John took me on the best date ever tonight we went berry picking! The black raspberries and gooseberries are ripe and ready to eat! I've plans for gooseberry jam and black raspberry jam tomorrow, then tomorrow night we've plans to pick two cherry trees north of town.
I made homemade pizza on Friday using our freshly ground Hard Red Winter wheat berries and it was incredible! Things I'll do differently next time, divide the dough in half so I don't end up with the thick crust, I'll make cinnamon rolls with that instead, and bake the crust an additional five minutes before loading it with the goodies. Oh and we are also making and canning our own pizza sauce because the stuff from the store was well - GROSS! John has a recipe he makes up and it is light and it is wonderful.
White wheat berries make better cakes and breads, if you like the really soft stuff. It has more gluten than the Red wheat berries therefore allowing your dough to rise more.
