What does Graham mean?
Graham refers to a process of stone grinding. Graham refers to flour made by grinding the entire wheat berry including the bran. It is named for Sylvester Graham who promoted this process in the 1800's.
Can I use this like other whole wheat flour?
Yes, but it is a coarse grind so it will perform differently in recipes for certain pastries and baked goods. You may need to adjust the moisture in the recipe.
Why are there little brown specks in my flour?
That is part of the wheat kernel.
Is this whole grain flour?
Yes
Can I use this in a bread machine?
Yes.Take note of the moisture in your recipe. Add water a tablespoon at a time if the dough seems too dry. Whole grains absorb more moisture.
How do I add this to a bread machine?
Use no more than 3 ½ cups of flour. (This can be the only flour if you want but will be heavy and dense)
Add liquids first, then add dry ingredients, next add the fat, and then add the yeast last.
We have pamphlets to send.
How do I adjust my recipes?
You may use this flour alone in recipes or mix it with other flours. Typically bread or all purpose flour. You may need additional liquid. Add an additional tablespoon until the desired consistency is achieved. Additional leavening may also be needed. Try ¼ tsp. of each one called for in the recipe. Vital wheat gluten should be added for better performance, one teaspoon per cup of flour.
How do I make this Self-rising?
Add 1 ½ tsp. baking powder and ½ tsp. salt per cup needed.
If I store my flour in the freezer, what do I do before using it in a recipe?
It is best to bring all ingredients to room temperature before use, unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
Why does it need to be room temperature?
Because cold ingredients may adversely affect the yeast performance.
Can I fry with this or make a roux?
We do not recommend it due to the natural oils in the whole grain.
Is this flour bromated?
No
