Sifter....woohoo!

Now....I like using whole wheat, white whole wheat, mind you. BUT....when I go to make cookies or other non-bread recipes I use soft white wheat.  It has less protein and makes for a better product....less gluten.

ok...so I admit it...i still don't like the wheatiness in my cookies quick breads, muffins,etc.

 All that lovely bran! (groan)

TaDa! I found a sifter for my Bosch !

I LOVE you sifter!!!

It fits over the bowl and low and behold...it sifts all the bran out of the flour!

AMAZING!

To test it out I made my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe. Yum! 

I did learn this..the flour is REALLY fluffy after you sift it and doesn't measure exactly true.

FLAT COOKIES!

So I will have to adjust next time.

You still get the nutrition from the whole wheat...with less fiber!  I figure...it's fresh ground. I will sacrifice a little fiber.

You can use the leftover bran on your cereal, yogurt, in other baked goods to get that fiber back in your diet!

Sifter at work!

Here is a little comparison...really bad picture.On the top is the sifted bran, on the left is the fresh ground flour, and on the right is the sifted flour!
