Real from scratch recipes

When I say real, I mean you grind the flour, you forage/grow the ingredients.

Here’s a great one, Flour.

We are going to see prices increase for flour across the board.
Here is a way to supplement it.

Potato & Zucchini both can make flour. Both are easy to grow.
I love breads made with potato!

You can use a little wheat flour and cut in zucchini flour. You should not be able to taste the difference.



If you lose electricity you can dry the good ol’ fashioned way, outside on a sheet in the sun, or hanging.
Make sure it is 100% dry, dry dry!

You can also make pumpkin flour.

Here is the one for Potato.

Trying to link a video, but following ATS instructions isn't working for me.

Bread needs a yeast, and who doesn't love fresh bread? I've made a natural yeast 'starter' successfully. There are instruction, recipe and a video at link provided.

Natural yeast is basically flour, water, and time on the counter. Yeast is naturally occurring in the air. If you’ve ever picked plums, elderberries, grapes, or other similar fruit, that white film that covers them is natural yeast. Any grain based flour will work for making a natural yeast start.

Yeah it's sourdough starter that you build. Even if it turns black and separates, just feed it and it will heal in half a week. As long as it smells sour and not moldy, everything is good.

I make a ton of "weird flour" breads for my son who has type 1 diabetes. One thing I would also suggest is for anyone who wants to experiment with other flours is to get a few bags of vital wheat gluten before they're gone and stick them in the freezer.

It can make a big difference in texture depending on the type of flour you're using, but it's way less wheat in the recipe.

Well, it's been talked about for ages and if push comes to shove, the world goes to pot, we'll be eating chirping bloody crickets...

Here's all you need to know about making your own cricket flour. It can't be used alone to bake with, but it could be used to bulk up the dwindling reserves of real flour in case the shtf.

Not my culinary choice, but survival calls for extreme measures.
