Cinnamon raisin bread. Planned on sourdough version but the starter was not active enough and time was short so used the regular yeast bread recipe from our website. Used 70% of our just-milled Red Fife and Clark's Cream (Baking Blend II), and 30% commercial bread flour. Added in 100 grams sourdough starter just because it was there. Rolled it out, added the good stuff (raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans), rolled it up and let it rise rwo hours. 15 minutes at 500, another 20 or so at 350 until inside was at 206 degrees. Very happy with the rise considering it was 70% whole wheat flour. Maybe the yeast/sourdough combination helped...? Any thoughts on that?

Summer and fall work is done. Time for grain cleaning. Einkorn goes through 70 year old Clipper cleaner which has a series of four screens of various sizes. I have about 100 screens and some experimentation gives the combination for the cleanest grain. The machine is made of red oak because the designers realized metal would fatigue from the vibration but not so with oak. Lines of these machines run 24 hours a day in commercial facilities.

15% off White Sonora.... one of the oldest wheat varieties in North America. Documented to exist near Sonora, Mexico in the 1700s but likely predates that time. The predominant wheat in California in the early and mid 1800s. Has the most amazing aroma when milled. ( Pottery by Mud and Sage Ceramics @mudandsage )
