Recipe Collection
Ancient Grain Recipes
Ancient grains do not play by modern wheat rules. Spelt tears if you knead it, einkorn drinks water differently, and both ferment faster than the bag suggests. These recipes are built for the way these grains actually behave: a lighter hand, a shorter proof, and flavor you cannot get from commodity flour. This is a collection inside Fresh-Milled, and hard red, hard white, and soft white are modern wheats, so they live there rather than here.
