Storing Wheat Berries in Vacuum Sealed Food Saver Bags?

Forums:

The family here has a Food Saver Machine and we were wondering if we can put wheat berries in these vacuum sealed bags for LONG term storage?

If so, do they need to be refrigerated, freezed, or can they just sit on a shelf in the pantry without going bad?

I was going to portion them out per recipe size. For example: if a particular recipe called for 3 cups of flour, I wanted to make something like 50, 3 cup bags of wheat berries.

Flax & Sunflower disaster!

Yikes! I started a WW loaf from Tartine today. Dough looked beautiful, until it came to adding Flax & Sunflowers. Way, way too much liquid. Disaster! I checked & double checked the amounts listed.

Could this be a print error?

Has anyone else made this bread?

I like the idea of getting the nutrition of whole wheat flour, but I have trouble getting the kids (and husband) to eat breads made with whole wheat and white whole wheat flour. So I recently read about the nutritional value of Kamut, and the mild nutty taste. I went to my local Whole Foods and picked up a few pounds of the whole grain and ground it.

White whole wheat

Forums:

I made 100% white whole wheat raisin bread today with a couple of new mistakes. I forgot to add the 1/4 C oil to the other liquids, and wondered why the dough was so stiff. I was about to add water, when I spotted the 1/4 C oil just sitting there. The dough finally assimilated the oil, but begrudgingly. The other mistake was not resting the dough after the second deflation. I just weighed them, and thought thy were flacid enough. The recipe just said divide and shape into loaves. The dough fought back, and I didn't take the hint.

Whole grain flop and one success

My Black Bean Bread from Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book didn't hold up. The already flabby dough was trying to tell me not to add anymore liquid, but I went for it. Great bread, and I take some solace in the Black Bean I made before this turning out really well, but this one has a saggy muffin top. It could have been worse I think.

Someone gave me a recipe for their bread. Their bread was so soft and moist with 100% whole wheat white wheat. It was so soft and fluffy, AND very much like your store bought bread. So... I requested the recipe.

I have been trying to achieve these results with my own 100% whole wheat (home milled).

Einkorn grains

Hello,

Inspired by a recent bread by codruta with Einkorn flour, and chapter 1 of the Handbook of Dough Fermentations (which is a history lesson on grains), and since I have a home grain mill, I decided to buy a bunch of Einkorn from einkorn.com. 22 lbs of it. :) Why not? Today it arrived. Thought I'd post pics with comparison of what it looks like vs. organic hard red spring wheat from Bob's Red Mill.

Not sure I am posting in the right section here, but I am looking for a basic brown bread recipe. No bits or such, just brown bread.

I thought this would be an easy recipe to come by, but google is not being my friend. Wondering if you wonderful folk could help me out?

Reinhart 100% WW - Many Questions!

Whole Grains

Good morning!

I have been working on perfecting Reinhart's 100% WW sandwich loaf. So far... well, I haven't been that successful. Getting a little frustrated, because I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing incorrectly. It’s quite hard to learn how to bake without someone who knows the process well to give constructive feedback.
