I want to grow wheat to make my own bread. Is this what I am looking for, or is this just for wheat grass?

This type wheat will work. It needs full sun, and fertile well drained soil. Make sure you can water this wheat during drought or dry weather. I used this for its seed to replant for my animal feed.

This product is in its whole grain form. You would need a grain mill to process it in to flour for making breads.

I just got my new breadmaker this week. For the second loaf I made, I used 100% whole wheat flour, no other type of flour at all. I used the recipe included in the Panasonic booklet that comes with the machine. The loaf turned out PERFECTLY! Very moist, tall, and delicious! I am going to love this new machine.P. S. I recommend King Arthur flour - I was amazed at the difference in my baked goods when I switched to King Arthur. I've become a faithful follower!

Angela, My wife, who is the user, has not yet tried wheat grass so can not provide feedback on that issue. Overall, she is very happy with it. Steve

I have been using this to bake bread, combined with other flours, no problem. It's not that the gluten is added, rather it is that some types of wheat berries have a naturally higher gluten content, making them better for bread baking. Thus the naming of the flour as "bread" flour. The recipe I use can be found, with video, at my blog titled "the nature of brown whyte" Hth, Holly

Hi Gerald-- To be honest, I don't think it was meant for that type of application but I'm semi-impressed it worked at all! Have you considered just getting a grain mill? I think Amazon sell a variety of models that should do the job right for you. Good luck!

Yes. I use one part of this, one part of white flour, and one part of freshly ground white winter wheat. This stuff is the best. My bread is superior since using it. (or so I'm told).

I bought my bread machine to make ALL my own bread. I could not find a gluten free bread I liked for less than $6 a loaf. I consider it to be a wise choice and a money saver!

Good question. I have not tried wheatgrass yet. Based on its power and the way it juices kale, it would be worth trying wheatgrass.

I haven't tried to grow wheatgrass, but I've successfully sprouted dozens of other seeds, virtually effortlessly! I would say for wheatgrass, though, you may be better off with a tray & some soil or other growing medium.

This is both wheat grass and cat grass. I grow this for myself for juicing, and I also grow some for my cats.

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.

I like the taste and texture better than red whole wheat flour. It will make a good bread alone, but I prefer to mix it about half and half with a white bread or all purpose flour to get a lighter texture. I use a honey-wheat recipe and substitute the seven grain for whole wheat.

I have a WonderMill grain mill and fresh mill Kamut brand wheat as well as a Hard White Spring wheat called "Prairie Gold" Both are marvelous grains for whole wheat flour. I make 100% all the time and works great. PERIOD!! I add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten just to make sure, as well as 1/8 tsp of Ascorbic acid (a yeast conditioner). I also use ingredients for Large loafs but set the setting for sandwich and works fine.

The product we received is raw, unground wheat seeds / "berries". To obtain flour, it has to be ground. We use a "Wonder Mill" to do that. We use a bread recipe and process we found on-line to make sandwich loaves that rise like bread you buy in a supermarket but which are made with 100% flour milled from this product along with an optional tablespoon per loaf of active wheat gluten (protein). Have not tried making biscuits, cakes, cookies, and/or pie crusts yet from the flour we make from the Great River product.

I grind wheat berries in mine all the time. It works well. Just don't expect much at a time. I get two cups of flour in about fifteen minutes then I let the grinder cool. It's enough for some delicious wheat bread.

It's light, it looks like whole wheat. I've tried it in sourdough, but it has never worked for me. I use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 rye and it comes out like a rock. 100% whole wheat turns out fine, so I think I need to work on the ratio.
