Episode Details

"Find a supplier of as locally sourced grains as possible...find a mill; a coop and support them!"

If you're a bread-maker, this episode's for you.

We welcome back the fabulous Elly from Elly's Everyday to the podcast to talk about the heart of bread, its raw material: grains and flour.

During this episode you'll hear Elly's wisdom on:

1. Sourcing grains and flour for bread
2. Grinding grains into flour at home, including why you would want to do it and how Elly grinds hers
3. The vital difference between the two ways flours are produced: stone-grinding and roller milling
4. Why and how Elly freezes her grains and what you must remember when defrosting
5. How to get the best possible flour even when you can't afford a home-mill
6. And Elly talks us through her whole grain process - from choosing and buying through to mixing the dough.

Elly has two hugely popular YouTube channels and has helped thousands of people with making wholegrain sourdough, we're so grateful to her for bringing us her wisdom!
