    Ingredients

    • 4 cups chopped rhubarb chopped into approx. 1/2 inch chunks

    Print Recipe
    1.5 dozen

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup butter
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup white sugar
    • 1 egg plus one egg yolk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract yes, a tablespoon not a teaspoon!
    • 2 cups Bluebird Einkorn Flour or substitute Bluebird Einkorn Baking Mix
    • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda omit if using Einkorn Baking Mix
    • 1 teaspoon salt omit if using Einkorn Baking Mix
    • 2 cups chocolate chips

    Methods

    • Preheat oven to 350F

Once butter is foaming, remove from heat and continue to stir until foam has disappeared. Butter should be a light brown color. Let butter cool for 2-3min.
    • In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar and ¼ cup white sugar and butter. Mix until just combined.

    • Using an ice cream scoop, scoop and roll dough into two inch balls. Place balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30min (DO NOT SKIP) This allows the whole grain flour to soak up all the good flavors. It is worth the wait.
    • Bake at 350 for 10-11min
    • When cookies are done baking, take them out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

    • In a separate bowl whisk together warm milk and honey, until honey is melted.
    • Add 3 eggs, whisking in one at a time.
    • With mixer on slow speed slowly combine wet ingredients with the flour mixture.
    • Mix on a higher speed for 4 to 5 minutes until ingredients are incorporated. Dough should be supple and bind together and not cling to the side of the bowl.
    •  Add the fruit and rum mixture. Mix on slow speed for 1 minute until incorporated.
    • Put dough onto a flour dusted countertop or silicon mat and carefully fold a few times until all the nuts and fruit are incorporated. Dough may be slightly sticky.
    • Place dough in a flour-dusted large bowl and cover. Let dough rest at room temperature for 2 hours (dough can be refrigerated for 2 days until you are ready to bake the bread).

    Fourth of July Cherry Pie

    Print Recipe
    1 pie
    Copyright: Bluebird Grain Farms 

    Ingredients

    Cherry Pie Filling:
    • 4 cups fresh pitted pie cherries
    • 1 cup of sugar
    • 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
    • 3 tbsp quick-cooking tapioca
    • Pinch of sea salt
    Crust:
    • 3 Cups Bluebird Pasayten Hard White Flour OR Bluebird Einkorn Flour
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 cup chilled butter cubed (2 sticks)
    • 5 tbsp cold water
    • 1 tbsp white vinegar
    • egg whites from 1 egg for brushing

    Methods

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    • Combine pitted pie cherries, sugar, almond extract, salt, and tapioca and set aside while you prepare the crust.
    By hand:
    • Combine the Pasayten Hard White flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Work the butter into the flour with a knife, or pastry cutter, or fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle the ice water and vinegar onto the crumbly dough and with your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together. Transfer to a work surface. Cut the dough in half, place half on top of the other, and press down. Repeat this step two more times until all the water is incorporated into the dough.
    In a food processor:
    • Blend flour, salt, and sugar together. Add butter by pulsing cube by cube. When butter is incorporated slowly pulse in cold water and vinegar until the dough begins to bind. Do not over mix! Take the dough out of the processor and follow the steps above to roll the dough.
    To roll the dough:
    • Divide dough into two equal parts. On wax paper (or silicon mat) with a lightly floured surface gently flatten the ball of dough with a rolling pin. Place another piece of wax paper on top of the flattened dough. Starting from the center, roll the dough into a circle- slightly larger than the size of your pan. Peel the top layer of wax paper off the dough and flip the dough into an oiled pan.
    • Spoon filling into the bottom crust.
    • Repeat the same process for the top crust layer. Place the top layer of crust on top or prepare a lattice. Use a knife or kitchen scissors to trim the overhang to an inch over. Fold the edge of the top piece of dough over and under the edge of the bottom piece of dough, pressing together with your forefinger and thumb.
    • Brush the top with egg whites.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Cool before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

    Blueberry Fig Bars

    Print Recipe
    The tangy tartness of the figs and lemon, coupled with the sweetness of the fresh blueberries and Sonora flour makes this recipe a hit for every palate! Soft and chewy, but with a little pop of texture from the fig seeds makes the consistency top notch. I mixed and mashed everything by hand, and it still came together very quickly. Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    Filling:
    • 1 cup dried figs roughly chopped
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    Pastry Ingredients:
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest about 1/2 of a medium lemon
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups Sonora Flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    Methods

    • Preheat the oven to 350
    • Place chopped figs and water in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the water is almost evaporated.
    • Add the rest of the filling ingredients to the pot. Simmer for 10 -12 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thick.
    • Place in a food processor, and process until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
    • For the pastry, place granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and lemon zest in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Scrape down the bowl, and add Sonora Flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
    • Press the pastry into a 4 x 6 rectangle and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide in half. Roll each piece between two floured pieces of parchment paper until a 12 x 9 rectangle is formed. Divide the dough along the long side into 3 equal pieces. 
    • Place the blueberry fig mixture into a piping bag, or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe a 1 inch section of filling in the center of each strip of dough, and fold over until the seam side is down. Trim 1/4 inch off the ends, and cut each strip into 6 equal pieces, about 2 inches each.
    • Bake for 10 -12 minutes, until lightly browned. Store in an airtight container up to three days.
    • Note: the dough and blueberry mixture can be made ahead and frozen up to one month. Place the blueberry mixture in an airtight container in the freezer. For the pastry, wrap in plastic wrap and place in a large ziptop bag in the freezer. Remove from the freezer the day before and allow to thaw in the fridge. Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before baking.

    Einkorn Bourbon Nut Tart

    Ingredients

    Einkorn Crust
    • 1 1/4 cup Bluebird’s Einkorn Flour
    • 2 tbsp of granulated sugar
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • ½ cup 1 stick chilled butter, cut into small pieces
    • 3-4 tbsp ice water
    Nut Filling
    • 1 cup hazelnuts (halved)
    • 1 cup whole almonds
    • 1 cup whole pecans
    • 1 cup whole peanuts or cashews
    • 1/2 cup whole pumpkin seeds
    • 4 tbsp of butter
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 2 tbsp water
    • 1/3 cup heavy cream
    • 1/3 cup barley malt syrup (such as Eden brand)
    • 2 tbsp bourbon
    • flaked Sea salt (to taste)

    Methods

    • Heat oven to 375. Prepare the crust.
    By hand: 
    • Combine the einkorn flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Work the butter into the flour with a knife, pastry cutter, or your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle the ice water onto the crumbly dough and, with your hands, punch the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball.
    • Transfer to a work surface. Cut the dough in half, place half on top of the other, and press down. Repeat the cutting and pressing steps three or four times until all of the water is incorporated into the dough and it clings together. Gather the dough into a ball, and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
    Food processor:
    • Cut the butter into 1-inch pieces and place them in the bowl of the food processor. Add the flour, salt, and sugar. Process until all of the ingredients are incorporated. With the processor on, add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough begins to clump but is still crumbly. Continue to drizzle a little water and pulse the food processor, stopping to test the dough to see if it is moist enough to hold together. As soon as the dough begins to “ball up” remove it from the processor, gather dough into a ball and let it rest for approximately 5 minutes before rolling out.
    • While dough rests grease the tart pan and cut a round piece of parchment paper with a 10 ” circumference. Set aside.
    • Carefully roll dough out on a silicon mat or wax paper to a 12 inch circumference. Flip dough onto the greased tart pan. Pinch edges firmly with your fingers. Remove excess dough. Place parchment paper on top of dough with pie weights or dry beans to keep crust from puffing up.
    • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let cool and remove parchment paper and pie weights.
    Prepare tart filling
    • Turn oven to 350 degrees.
    • Combine the nuts. in a small bowl and set aside.
    • In a large, heavy saucepan melt the butter. Add sugars, salt, water and barley syrup. Heat over medium heat until sugars dissolve, stirring consistently. As mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
    • When mixture thickens, and slow thick bubbles develop, remove from heat. Whisk in the cream and bourbon. Mixture will sputter and pop. Gently stir in nuts, mix together until the nuts are fully covered with the sauce. Gently pour mixture into the prepared tart pan. With rubber spatula spread mixture evenly onto the crust.
    • Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the top with flaked sea salt. Allow tart to fully cool before serving.
