I find using fresh ground flour has different characteristics  from aged flour.    Indeed some suggest aging the flour after it is ground.    This helps the baking but you loose some of the nourishment.    This is what works for me.

One egg added to water to make 1  1/3 cup liquid.    I warm it in a microwave for 1 minute.

Add 2 tablespoons honey and 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast and mix well.

Let sit for 15 minutes to proof the yeast then add 1/4 cup olive oil.  

 I grind  1 1/2 cups Hard Red wheat berries  with  1 1/2  cups Einkorn wheat berries.   Add 1 teaspoon salt and mix it.  

Place in bread machine on "quick"  Then add the wet  mixture.    Follow this with the dry ingredients.     

Start machine.    

Let machine mix dough and do first rise  and punch down.    ( about 30 minutes)  

Remove from bread machine and put in pan.   

Rise for 15 minutes in a toaster oven set on low  (low is about 235 degrees)   

Bake for 32 minutes at 350 degrees in the same toaster oven.    

 

Are there any other recipes for using fresh ground flour?
