I did it. I bought a grain mill...

I do not need another kitchen appliance, I really don't.  I have a cabinet devoted to them, and I don't have a lot of cabinet space to begin with - small NYC kitchen.

But...I bought a grain mill.  Over the summer I used the attachment for the KA mixer and loved it.  I left it at the cottage.  I bought a Mockmill 100 from Breadtopia and a small amount of Einkorn whole grain, along with some other stuff.

I now understand why Breadtopia is so well though of on this site.  About 30 minutes after placing my order online, I received a call.  Would I like the other items shipped now or wait until the mill comes in.  What service! 

And the madness continues.  I'm now on the search for quality whole grains in the NYC area. 

This past summer, in a remote area of Canada called the Muskoka Lake Region, I picked up some sprouted Buckwheat flour and began incorporating it into my breads along with freshly ground and sifted (with a regular wire mesh strainer) whole wheat flour, and Bob's Red Mill Organic Dark Rye.  My family loved the bread and said it was the best I'd ever made.

So, now I have to sprout my own Buckwheat groats, dry & mill them.  I'm also going to play around with adding the sprouted berries themselves in various stages of being crushed.

And, being slightly mad, I'm delving into Sorgum syrup, flour & whole berries in various stages of being sprouted and ground/milled.
