My Favorite Whole Wheat Recipes – and A Nutrimill Giveway From Paula’s Bread

I’m often asked how I get my 100% whole wheat baked goods to actually taste yummy. It is true that sometimes store-bought whole wheat flour can turn out a dry and dense muffin or bread. We know whole grains have more nutrition, but really, who cares how healthy it is if it doesn’t even taste good?

No Knead Whole Wheat Bread

Ahhh, that’s why I love my Nutrimill. Freshly ground flour is so amazingly good. It makes a world of difference in the way my baked goods taste. Even better is the fact that all the nutrients are alive and intact when you grind your own flour. Tastes better and is much healthier? Yes, please!

What are my favorite Whole Wheat Recipes? Well, all of them, of course. But if I really had to choose my top ten, I guess they would be…

How has your whole wheat baking experience been so far?  Ever since I started grinding my own grain, it’s made a world of difference in how the product turns out. Who knew baking with whole wheat (or other freshly ground grains) could be so easy?

Buying a Nutrimill is a bit of an investment. It’s worth it, but it can take a while to save up the money for one. That’s why I thought you might like the chance to win a free one. :)

Paula’s Bread is the sweetest!! We’re hitting the restart button with a Nutrimill giveaway, thanks to Paula. :)

Who Wants to Win a Nutrimill

I love my Nutrimill, which can be used to grind hard and soft wheat, kamut, spelt, hulled buckwheat, oat groats, hully barley, triticalae, rye, brown rice, wild rice, popcorn, sorghum, soybeans, split peas, and dried beans. It grinds these into a lovely, fine flour which can be used in all of your baked goods.

I use my Nutrimill alllllll the time. I mostly use my mill to grind hard and soft white wheat. Most people don’t even know they are eating whole grains at my house. They just know they are eating delicious bread, cookies, muffins, or pizza crust.

Paula’s Bread is the place to go when you’re ready to buy a Nutrimill. Her prices are always the best, and her customer support is fantastic. I have worked with Paula for years. She’s a lovely, godly woman. (Like Paula’s Bread on Facebook!)

    I’ve been wanting a grain mill for several years, but it won’t be in the budget for at least a few more. I’d love the chance to have one sooner!

    I have a kitchen aide attachment now for grinding, but I’ve heard it doesn’t grind near as well as nutrimill. I know I would be baking more!

    Oh I love your bread recipe. And I’m fortunate enough to have access to locally grown organic wheat berries. I usually have our mill grind it for me. If I had my own nutrimill, I could grind it fresh! What a fabulous giveaway!

    I would love to win this. I watched the demo on this at our homeschool convention but wasn’t quite ready to make that purchase. I have converted my whole family to whole wheat bread and they have not complained at all. This would definitely take my baking to the next level.

    I’d love to win this! We even grew wheat two years ago, but the only mill I have is an old crank one that doesn’t attach to any surface in my kitchen. I have to take it to the porch to use, and you can guess how often that happens!!!

    Thanks for doing the giveaway!

    I asked my husband for a Nutrimill for Christmas. I would love to win this one and have an early Christmas:) I have tried making homemade bread for years and even bought a hand grinder, but my flour ends up too course and the finished product is terrible! I always tell people “I make bricks, not bread!” I’m hoping to change that!

    I would love an electric grain mill! I love freshly ground flour, but with 4 small children, it takes a bit too much time for me right now to grind it with our manual grain mill! (BUT, with that said, someday the children will be big enough to grind the flour for me! :) )

  342. Janet Kiessling says

    This would an amazing addition to our kitchen. We just started liking the idea of grinding our own grains. We did buy one – but it was not a very good one – & it had to go back & we are currently looking for another one…;)

    Well written testimonial to the quality and usefulness of the Nutrimill and how important having not only healthy but good tasting whole grains can be. I cringe when I think how I was one of the “Wonder Bread” kids growing up. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Nutrimill and thanks for the informative and timely wealth of information you share. Good Luck to all and God Bless
