~Bread Offerings~ April 2025~

Hello bread-baking bunch, Here’s what’s going on in my kitchen this month: Mama Bread This month’s Mama bread is made with Mt. Hood bread flour from Camas Country Mill.

Hello bread-baking bunch, Here’s what’s going on in my kitchen this month: Mama Bread This month’s Mama bread is made with Elwha Spelt from Moon Family Farms.

Here’s what’s going on in my kitchen this month: Mama Bread This month’s Mama bread is made with Amarillo White Wheat from Camas Country Mill. This is a beautiful whole grain flour that was developed at UC Davis. It has a buttery yellow glow that is reminiscent of durum, but handles more like a traditional wheat bread flour. I found this a very tasty loaf, and if you need one more reason to try it, there are health benefits related to the yellow pigment. This flour has more lutein, which has been linked to eye and heart health. Sesame … Read more
