Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup honey

• 2 teaspoons iodized sea salt

• 8 cups Askegaard Organic Whole Wheat Flour

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes (shut oven off). Heat 3 cups of water and pour into a 4 cup measuring cup or bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of honey, stirring until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast packets into water mixture, stirring until dissolved. Cover loosely with aluminum foil or saran wrap. Place 4 cup measuring cup or bowl with mixture into warm oven. Allow yeast to rise 15-20 minutes (until yeast bubbles are about one inch high).

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

 1 package active dry yeast or quick-rise yeast

½ teaspoon sugar

1/8 cup warm water

1 cup milk

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons shortening

1 large egg

2 cups Askegaard Organic Whole Wheat Flour

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

Topping:

1 cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup margarine

¼ cup flour or cake crumbs

1 to 1 ½ tablespoons milk

2-3 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and ½ teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add milk, ¼ cup sugar, salt, and shortening to the yeast mixture. Stir in egg and whole wheat flour; beat 2 minutes. Gradually add all purpose flour. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Knead until smooth and elastic – 10 to 15 minutes by hand or 10 minutes with dough hook. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to coat. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Punch down dough; cover and let rise again. Punch down dough again; cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Mix topping ingredients together until smooth. Roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle and spread a thin layer of topping on the dough, leaving a 1 inch strip along one of the short edges uncovered. Brush the uncovered, 1 inch dough strip with water. Beginning with the short, topping edge, roll up, pinch to seal the un-topped edge and cut into 12 rolls.

Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch pan. Cover with a warm, damp towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Bake at 375° for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden.

Pumpkin pancakes

Ingredients:

1.5 cups milk or almond milk
1 cup pumpkin purée (canned or freshly baked - we use our own pumpkins!)
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup Askegaard Organic Whole Wheat Flour
1 tablespoon Askegaard Organic Ground Flaxseed
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions: Mix wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, blending until smooth.

Norwegian Crepes

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs
- 1.5 cups of milk or milk substitute
- 1 cup Askegaard Organic Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, blending until most of the lumps are gone. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, swirling the batter into a thin layer that covers the entire bottom of the pan. You want the pancake to be thin.
When the edges of the pancake begin to slightly curl, and the top no longer looks wet, flip the pancake to the other side. Aim to achieve a golden color on each side of the pancake. Additional butter may need to be added to the pan before starting a new pancake. Serve warm with jam, maple syrup, nutella, fresh fruit, honey, and/or powdered sugar. Pancakes are typically rolled, folded, or stacked. Enjoy! 
*Note* Try using Askegaard Organic Ground Flaxseed as an egg substitute! 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water is equal to one egg. For even thinner pancakes, try using 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, or add more milk.

How to Cook Wheat Berries: 
“Wheat berries” are the seed of wheat plant. High in protein, fiber, & micronutrients, they are a whole grain worth adding to your diet! 

Wheat berries are prepared much like rice. To cook wheat berries, simply place 1 cup of wheat berries and 3 cups of water in a pot on the stovetop. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until the wheat berries are soft (they will “puff” and have a chewy consistency). Drain and cool.
