HOW & WHERE DO I START? My house or yours?
I give bread-making classes in my home. I love to share with others how to nourish their families with the most delicious, freshest, most nutritious bread in town! If attending a class is impossible for you, I also have a bread class CD you can view on your PC. Divided into 3 segments, you'll see how to make bread, cinnamon rolls, pizza & granola. You'll learn about the different grains & hear a short synopsis of most of our books. The CD is free when you purchase a machine.
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
A BOSCH KITCHEN MACHINE, and A NUTRIMILL OR AN ULTRAMILL - Both mills are easy to use and maintain, and are durable with a lifetime warranty.
The NUTRIMILL is the latest & greatest in high tech kitchen equipment. Kitchen Resources developed this innovative mill with power, performance, convenience, and durability in mind. The surgical quality stainless steel milling heads, rotating at 27,000rpms, produces your choice of the most fine or coarse flour of any high-speed mill on the market. The flour falls into the convenient 20-cup canister drawer. Just pull out the drawer & dip in a measuring cup. No lifting off a cumbersome motor or dusting your kitchen with flour. With the limited lifetime warranty, your mill will perform for years to come. I LOVE MINE!!
Our economy model, the ULTRAMILL, also produces fine bread flour. Shaped like a box, you pour the grain in the top, run it through, then lift the motor off the canister. It's a user-friendly machine also. Enjoy the aroma & flavor of freshly milled flour. Colors - smoke, blue or white. Both mills allow the user to stop & restart the milling process without clogging the machine. If you've ever 'unclogged' one, you'll appreciate this feature.
I purchased my BOSCH in 1987 & I LOVE IT. Over the years, I put my BOSCH away to try other machines. That didn't last long. NOTHING makes bread or performs like a BOSCH. Other companies try to imitate our BOSCH, so don't buy a 'want a be.' Buy the best. The BEST became BETTER!!! Fall 2007, marked the introduction of the BOSCH UNIVERSAL PLUS. With a stronger 800 watt motor, improved automatic transmission, larger bowl, improved safety features, this workhorse promises to last even longer than the former Universal. Imagine your grandchildren whipping up a batch of fresh bread with your Bosch!! Do you need a high speed blender, meat grinder, food processor, citrus juicer, fantastic mixer? This one machine does it all, and does it well. See our online store for pictures and information. Attachments from all Universals interchange with each other and parts are available. Join the contented family of Bosh owners and repeat the familiar slogans…I JUST LOVE MY BOSCH…..NOTHING MAKES BREAD LIKE A BOSCH!!
GRAINS - We purchase most of our grains from Wheat Montana Farms. This fine producer opened operations in the 80s, offering specialty grains to a small network of folks. Today their deliveries span the whole continent. All their grains carry a "Better Than Organic" guarantee. This means that these grains are actually tested and certified to be chemical and pesticide free. When you purchase from WMF, you can also be assured these grains have not been genetically modified, reducing their nutritive food values. Since 1993, they have delivered hundred of tons of grain to us. I'm sold on the quality & service of Wheat Montana Farms.
Which grain do I use? I recommend PRAIRIE GOLD. When I first started milling my own flour for bread, all that was available was red winter berries from the health food store. In 1993 I met a man at the State Fair, who introduced me to PRAIRIE GOLD from Wheat Montana Farms. After my first bite, I was sold. WOW!!! P. Gold is so versatile; chock full of protein ~ great not for only bread, but cookies & cakes, pizzas & rolls. When God told Israel He wanted to furnish them with the finest of the wheat, I think He was visualizing Prairie Gold for us.
We eat a variety of vegetables; we should also vary our grain diet. Each grain contains its own set of nutrients. Here is a list of others to start out with.
SPELT & KAMUT - These wonderful grains make delicious bread because of their high gluten content. I combine them with P. Gold for soft, flavorful results. They also are a delicious alternative to those who are sensitive to wheat. When using these along with wheat, only mix them 3 or 4 minutes in the BOSCH to develop the gluten.
Seven Grain Mix ~ Whole and Rolled ~ also provides the consumer with nutrients from seven more grains. I use the Whole 7 Grain primarily for pancake mix (half 7 grain flour and half wheat flour) and hot cereal. Crack it in a coffee mill and cook like Cream of Wheat. I add flax meal, wheat germ, dried fruit and nuts for a power packed start to my day. The 7 Grain Rolled makes great homemade granola. I add 5 handfuls to my bread for a chewy texture. Use is instead of regular rolled oats for a delicious healthy alternative.
DOUGH ENHANCER - I use dough enhancer to extend the shelf life & improve the texture of my bread. All natural ingredients, d.e. produces the light, round 'wonder bread' loaf we all strive to create. If a recipe calls for gluten flour, use about half the amount & substitute d.e. You'll save money.
SAF YEAST - This is the most wonderful yeast I've ever tried. No need to 'presoak' it with warm water, just throw it in the bowl with the other ingredients. It is so fast rising ~ my bread only sits in a warm oven for 20 minutes before it bakes. Also, just 2+ Tablespoons is enough for 5 loaves in the Bosch. You'll never try any other brand after using it!!!
For your convenience, I accept checks, cash, or VISA/MasterCard. For machine purchases, 4 monthly installments are the same as cash.
