Freshly Milled Whole Grain Sourdough Bread

There is something about a fresh loaf of bread. It doesn’t stay long in my house so I am constantly baking some. In this post, I’m giving you my tried and true Freshly Milled Whole Grain Sourdough Bread Recipe.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Resting Time 10 hours 30 minutes
Total Time 22 hours 50 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf
Course: Bread
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 750 g Hard Red Wheat Berries (Milled)
  • 2 3/4 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 cup Sourdough Starter (fed)

Equipment

  • 1 Grain Mill
  • 1 Mixer optional if you knead by hand

Method
 

  1. Mill Hard Red Wheat Berries
  2. Mix in Water and Let Autolyse (rest, covered) for at least 30 mins, but you can long autolyse for up to 8 hours.
  3. Add in salt and fed sourdough starter.
  4. Mix with mixer (or by hand) until formed into a ball (about 10 minutes) let my dough long ferment overnight (about 10 hours)
  5. In the morning, I kneaded my bread for about 5 minutes, shaped it and placed it into my dutch oven to do a second rise also know as proof for 1-2 hours. 
  6. About 1.5 hours into my proof, I preheated my oven to 475 degrees, and scored my bread. Once it's up to temperature, I put my bread in my dutch oven (with the lid on) the oven and set a timer for 30 minutes. 
  7. When the timer goes off, I removed the lid, and set another timer for 20 minutes. 
  8. Then I removed the dutch oven from my oven and set the freshly milled whole wheat sourdough bread on a wooden cutting board to cool before cutting it. 
  9. Serve Warm with butter or jelly Or let fully cool and use for sandwiches
