Marquis Wheat Berries (certified organic)

Learning curve

The grain was beautiful and the flavor delicately different from my usual stardust, which is what I was going for, but it behaved more like an ancient grain and I wasn’t prepared for that. I didn’t buy enough to really work out the kinks in multiple recipes, but blending it with the stardust produced a lovely loaf with a more robust flavor than my usual khorasian/stardust blend. You should try it!

Great berry to start with!

The Mill has a great guide book, and I chose the Maquis berry based on that/their suggestion. And it’s a great one! Have loved using this in normal bread loafs, cookies, and cinnamon rolls! Will definitely be ordering more soon along with a couple others!

Great flour addition for added extensibility

Most of my breads are >90% whole grain freshly milled wheat berries. I usually mix 2 or 3 flours in every bake, and I like to add about 15-25% Marquis for dough performance and flavor. I’ve also made 50% Marquis loaves that have a great color and taste.
