In this episode, Wendi reflects on her own wheat journey—from her mom’s beautiful stone-ground loaves to her own slightly tragic first attempts at homemade bread. With humor and warmth, she shares:
The dreamy idea of grinding your own flour... and the real-life learning curve
A few simple wheat basics (hard vs. soft wheat, flour freshness, and storage)
The importance of soaking grains and flour for digestion and texture
Common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them
Why learning this skill is less about perfection and more about love
This episode is the perfect intro for anyone curious (or intimidated) about grinding their own wheat—and a lovely reminder that preparedness can be joyful, messy, and deeply nourishing.
