Switching to fresh milled flour is not just about following the recipe but also about knowing and understanding the flour.

Your bread, cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies are going to look different than when you used “dead” flour. When you mill your flour fresh, it’s THIRSTY!

It’s important to watch your dough closely not just your recipe. Some days (in dry west Texas) you need more water, but only your dough can tell you that, not the recipe.

I know this intimidates people, and I get it, we want a foolproof recipe! Most of my cookies, pastries and desserts I don’t have to make adjustments to, but breads I certainly do!

Give yourself some grace, don’t be afraid to fail, but most importantly, trust your gut when your bread dough tells you it’s thirsty.

Oh and peep these lemon bars that have me craving warm Spring weather that sticks around!
