ON MY HEART By Marilyn Moll

It's that time of year again to stock up with high quality grains from Montana Milling! The Montana Hard White wheat has been our family's favorite wheat since 1991.

In fact, I have found that most husbands and children, who are reluctant to embrace whole wheat bread, will love the Montana White Wheat because of the mild flavor and light color! Nutritionally equal to hard red wheat, the Montana white wheat outsells hard red wheat almost 10:1.

However, both red and white wheat and many other items are available including my favorite, Kamut, as well as rolled oats, dry beans, and organic products and more at Truckload pricing. This is the time to stock up and save!

If you are not able to travel to the Denver area pick up point, email us for a shipping quote to your area.

Bread Baking Problems and Solutions by Marilyn Moll
=================================================================

The most frequent questions I get about baking are:

"When I compare my bread to other friends' bread it seem less dense and has bigger non uniform air bubbles."

OR
"My bread loaves raise beautifully, but as soon as I put it into the oven, the bread falls".

In either case, coarse/non uniform bread or bread that falls has been over-raised. Cut the rising time and expect the bread to just double in size. Fill your bread pans just 1/2 to 2/3 full and expect the bread to rise just to the top of or slightly above the top of the breadpan. (See the illustrations links described below.)

If you will review my step by step, illustrated tutorial I demonstrate the shaping, raising, and baking steps, and these pictures should help you know what to expect.

You may view my pictures of shaping and baking whole wheat bread at this link:

I also have a step by step illustrated tutorial of making Cinnamon Rolls with leftover whole wheat bread dough.

I also like to make cinnamon rolls, bread sticks, pizza crusts, dinner rolls, onion-cheese bread, cinnamon pull-aparts and more with my versatile Marilyn's Famous Whole Wheat Bread Dough. Complete instructions for Whole Wheat Bread Dough is Versatile.

Now is also the time to be thinking about baking your whole grain specialty breads for upcoming Farmer's Market Season. If you have experience with baking for a Farmer's Market, please write up a short paragraph of what you have found to work and not work, for an upcoming newsletter. I will send you my ecookbook, Fast and Healthy Menus for Busy Moms, for each article that I publish.
