Any Home Bakers Here?

Yes, and if you want to remove the hulls, you can filter the flour. I do not do that since I want real whole grains.

In the past, when I used my KA mill attachment, I did sift. But I then saved the coarse flour (bran) in the freezer to add to recipes like meatloaf. You can also cook it up as a hot cereal or add it to granola bars.

Very minimal "baking" for this recipe, but definitely cooking involved. I made a blackberry earl grey tart for my tea party this week. It involved a lot of standing over the stove and rechecking my recipe to monitor and translate "when it becomes thick and bubbly."

Oh, YUM!

I bottle every other Thursday, and brew the next day. I make 2 gallons every other week. And drink that much too!

I wish I liked it. It's good for the gut.

What can I do with shiitakes?

I’m thinking about using my dehydrator to dry them overnight. I’ll rehydrate them when I want to use them.

Ooo.... wish you had a freeze dryer. They're great for mushrooms

Best thing to do is to grow them in a controlled environment, like a bin with humidity and CO2 control. This website has everything you need.

Try the boomr bin or Martha tent. I personally have the automated boomr bin.

Oh, wow! That's a great set-up!

1/2 pound. I guess I should make something out of it. Maybe a mushroom soup or something.
