BEST FRIENDS IN BAKING!!

Meet my best friends in baking....the Nutrimill wheat grinder and the Bosch! Got up early this morning..ground some wheat and made some whole wheat bread dough.
This is my finished product. Believe it or not I cut the recipe down so it would only make 5 loaves. This bread will keep in the freezer for a month. I wish computers had scratch and sniff ....you would be loving the aroma...yummy!!

HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER

Wow!! You can actually make your own baking powder...who would of ever thought? There are times when you are in the middle of a recipe and realize you either don't have enough or have none. Sooo here is the recipe.....


Homemade Baking Powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cornstarch

Simply mix these few ingredients together and store in refrigerator. This recipe can be doubled or tripled, but really only make what you plan to use in near future.

This is the best baking soda to buy. It is aluminum free (if you buy baking powder always make sure it is aluminum free....Rumford is the brand you want to buy). The less aluminum we put in our bodies the better (just a little health tip there).
