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 to get a NutriMill but funds are short right now. Was a blessing this would be. :)

  113. Amber W. says

    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.

  186. Lisa says

    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!

  200. Ruth says

  219. Deb says

    I have been dying for one of these, but I know my husband will have a heart attack at the price! Saving my pennies, but it sure would be a blessing to win one for free! And I’ve heard such wonderful things about Paula from multiple places.

  221. Stephanie in MN says

  280. Heather @ My Overflowing Cup says

    This has been on my want list for years! Thank you so much for the chance to win, Laura. There is nothing like fresh ground flour.

  330. Jaime T. says

    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!

  335. Georjeanne says

    I am fairly new to bread baking and would love to grind my own grain. Thanks for this chance to win a Nutrimill!

  337. Joey says

    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! :) )

  343. 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…;)

  344. Danielle J says

    I would love nothing more. I have been wanting to grind my own grains for a long time. I burnt out a coffee grinder trying to! Thanks for the chance!

  346. Lorinda says

    This flour mill has been on my wish list. If I win then I could use what I’ve saved towards buying the wheat berries to mill. :)

  355. Kathlene says

    Just beginning my venture into whole grains. Have looked at grain mills, and would love to have this one.

  365. Melissa says

    I have been waiting on a relative to “donate” her unused grain mill to me as has been promised, but it’s not happening. I would LOVE to take the next step in providing healthy food for my family with a grain mill!

  366. Phyllis says

    Count me in! I’ve baked bread for years and would like to try it with the whole grains I’ve processed myself.

  372. Cynthia Gergel says

    I would give ANYTHING for my husband to learn to enjoy whole-wheat breads and other products. I can’t get him past “whole-grain” (not 100%) breads or rye.

  379. Jennifer Pellegrin says

    I love being able to make whole wheat breads for my family. What a treat it would be to be able to make them completely from scratch. Thank you, Paula, for your generosity!

  383. Valerie says

    This would be a fun win! I don’t have FB or Twitter so I’ll have to just go w/ the odds of one entry. :)

  394. Noel says

    SOooo exciting to think one of us is going to be able to grind our own flour for your delicious recipes!! Thanks for the opportunity. God is so good!

  406. S Mufferi says

    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

  468. Mary says

    This is extremely kind. I do have an old mill that I’m giving the kids. This would be wonderful. Thank you! And, I signed up for Paula’s newsletter. Also, thank you for the connection there. I love your receipes, as well, for whole wheat. Really excited here.

  484. Alison Brown says

    I am so desperate to start my cooking career in our new home by following a whole grain practice, so this mill would be SUCH an asset to my kitchen!

  558. Steph J says

    I was thinking of asking my whole family to go in together to get me one of these for Christmas. Maybe Christmas will come early? :)

  645. Shari says

    I’m already signed up for Paula’s newsletter. She runs some FAB deals! Thanks for this chance to win a product that I’ve seen in action – it’s AWESOME! My friend bought a Nutrimill from Paula and grinds her own wheat for every single one of her homemade goodies . Mmmm… Moist & delicious. She even makes a whole wheat angel food cake that her kids love. Amazing :-)

  646. Cantina Camp says

    I had a NutriMill wheat grinder and loved it. We lost our home to a house fire last December and now its gone. Would love to have another one. I signed up to receive Paula’s newsletter.

  648. Tammy says

    Wow! I’d love this to win this! I already grind flour for my family, but I also serve meals to an inner city ministry and have been amazed how people have responded to my bread. I always get rave reviews and hear about less “bathroom issues” after I bring a meal. I’d love to win to share with this ministry how to grind flour for their community.

  665. Tammy says

    We are gluten free (two celiac kids) but Im sure this would b a blessing! :)

  746. Kristin says

    I went online to see if Nutrimills were cheaper anywhere else, and found them at Bed Bath & Beyond for $219, + shipping. Plus, if you order it in the store, you can use a 20% off coupon, bringing the price down to $175.20!

  753. Leigh says

    I’m sorry I messed up Paula’s Bread’s name in my previous comment. I must have grain on the brain. I signed up for Paula’s newsletter.

  757. Carolyn says

    But thank you and Paula for another opportunity!

  761. Kristie says

    I am new to this whole foods lifestyle and I must admit I’m a bit overwhelmed but your website has been one of my favorites. You are so down to earth and you have a way of making me feel like this is something I can definitely do! I would love to win the Nutrimill. I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of grinding your own grains and would love to give it a try! Thanks for all you do!

  762. Katie L. says

    Ooooo!! Definitely could use this. I was using my SIL’s Nutrimill, but she moved several hours away and it’s definitely not in the budget for us right now. Thanks for the chance, Laura! :)

  768. Becky says

    I want a Nutrimill sooooo bad! I would love to grind flour and make the healthiest breads, baked goods, etc that I possibly can. I have never ground my own flour, but would love to make this lifestyle change. Pick me! :)

  769. shelby foreman says

    I have wanted an Nutrimill since I first heard of them! The way you talk about freshly ground wheat over store bought whole wheat sounds so delicious!

  773. kendra says

    I would LOVE to win this!

    I do subscribe to Paula’s newsletter but I’m not on Twitter or FB.

    Thanks for the opportunity ;)

  781. Erika says

    Your bread looks absolutely delicious today. I always think I want to try grinding my own grains, but the cost of a good grinder sure makes trying it out less-than-affordable.

  786. Kara says

    I would love to win this Nutrimill!!! Freshly ground flour makes homemade bread taste so much better and there is something special about being able to grind your own flour right in your very own kitchen!!!

  795. Amber Macomber says

    I was planning on asking for a nutrimill for Christmas. It would be amazing to win one though!

  796. Michelle Oosterlee says

    Hello Laura,

    I am new to your website, yet in the short while I have learned so much! Thank you. I was on the search for white wheat berries in Canada, when last week at work a generous farmer gifted me 100 pounds! God is good! However, I have nothing to grind it with haha. Winning this Nutrimill would be a blessing beyond words. :) I signed up for Paula’s Bread newsletter.

  797. Crystal says

    I would love love love the Nutrimill. I have been saving to buy one but to win one would mean I could buy the mixer I have been dying to get also!

    Love it!

  806. Allison Ashley says

    Thank you for the giveaway! I recently scored a Bosch mixer for $40 and would love to have a nutrimill to go with it!

  807. Suelyn says

    Don’t know how slim my chance will be, but I guess it only takes ‘one’ entry to have a chance at winning. Thanks for the chance!

  816. Monika says

    It would be terrific to be able to grind fresh flour rather than use the old stuff from the store!! I’m sure it does make a huge difference in taste and texture.

  840. Jennifer says

    I would love to win a flour mill as I can’t really afford one right now. Thank you for the opportunity and everything that you do to encourage others toward a healthier lifestyle!

    I first heard about a nutrimill from your blog right around two years ago and have wanted one ever since! What a fun giveaway!

  851. rocky fishman says

    I very much would like to win a Nutrimill! I have been trying to grind my own flour for a long time now and it’s very hard using a hand crank!

  856. Jen S. says

    I would love to own one of this mills and be able to order grain from Azure Standard and be able to grind it myself!

  860. T.R. says

    This looks great. I’ve been trying for two years…okay just talking about trying, :O) to start making bread from scratch.

  865. Kimberly in NC says

    Count me in! Now I’m going to have to look up what you’d grind up popcorn for. Interesting.

  882. Gwen @ ButtercupsBabies.com says

    What a great giveaway! I’ve always wanted a mill where we could grind our own flour at home. Thank you for offering it. :)

  895. Jennifer Blaine says

  897. elizabeth says

    This would be awesome to win! We are converting our family over to healthier foods and our church does an azure standard order and hear how great the fresh wheat is when you do it yourself. Thanks Laura, you rock!

  901. Maureen says
