Making Bread from Freshly Milled Flour for the First Time!
From einkorn berries to a sandwich 

This bread uses yeast. I’m so used to sourdough bread now that yeast breads taste odd to me😆


Couple things I learned from my first batch of fresh ground flour bread:
- don’t forget to add the flour from the little cup under the lid 
- don’t be fooled into thinking it won’t rise or it should go in a smaller pan (it over flowed)

- use greased Saran to cover not a towel 
- preheat oven earlier, too much rise time will cause the bread to fall in the oven and will have a flat top rather than a rounded one
- lighter tasting than I expected, I expected the bread to be heavy and it wasn’t. 

Looking forward to more grain coming next week and trying sourdough bread with fresh flour!

Hey there! I’m Allison, a homeschool mom of 4 boys, married to Peter. Three of my boys have graduated, and I still have one in high school.

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life here is beautiful, a little loud, and full of wrestling matches. We’re definitely a work in progress, and that’s real life.

A little about me and how I got here...

I used to feel overwhelmed by all the information about health, ingredients, and creating a lower-tox home. There was always something else I could be doing, and honestly, I didn’t know what really mattered most.

Then I discovered that I didn’t have to change everything at once. I could start small, make simple swaps, and learn what actually worked for my family in real life. That made it feel doable.

Now I help busy, thoughtful moms in a full or changing season of life who want healthier, more intentional choices for their home and family but feel overwhelmed by where to start.

I help them simplify wellness, focus on what matters most, and make changes that actually fit real life.

If that’s you, get in touch. I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
