Don't be too harsh on yourself dear, you are already doing enough, for me if I finish just a few things/day I'm grateful my oldest is 3yrs and youngest 3 months and on clingy days I'm just grateful to do chicken stuff and cooking meals.

Thanks somes days are frustrating it seems every time i try to do anything (cook, clean, shower ect) he wants me and normally there isnt anything wrong with him like just now i was fixing (home made chicken pot pie) dinner and he wouldnt stop crying unless i held him. I am pretty sure i messed up the recipe some how its the first time i have ever used this recipe we ll see how it comes out.

I ground up two cups of hard white wheat this morning and am making bread with it. I do not like to use straight whole wheat, so I have added white flour to make the dough.

The dough tastes very good so I can't wait to try the final product!

Ron, how did you bread turn out?

I've read that some people get a bitter taste from 100% whole wheat but you can eliminate that by using a bit of orange juice to replace some of the liquid. Don't know if that's why you don't like to use straight ww or not, but found it interesting.

It is very tasty!

I am more concerned with the rise when using straight whole wheat. This did fine though.

Nice you're enjoying your grinder!

can you bake bread without using a bread pan? if you can what do you use in place of a bread pan? or do you use anything at all?

You can free shape bread--like french bread.

I bake rounds in my porcelain dutch oven.

You can use your bread dough to make rolls and use a cupcake/muffin tin or cake pan.

You can also just free form a loaf on a baking sheet (I put parchment paper over the baking sheet first).

DH and I don't really like the taste or 100% whole wheat bread. I usually cut the fresh ground wheat with all-purpose flour by at least 1 cup - usually 50/50. However, for Indian Fry Dough we like the whole wheat taste, so I make those with 100% fresh ground wheat berries. I also prefer the White Winter Wheat over the Red Wheat - they don't have as strong of a wheat taste.

Just made a batch of Pita Bread. My first in over 2 years, we'll see if I still know how, lol.
