Equipment

  • Grain mill
  • Kitchen scale
  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk and measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon and spatula
  • Fine-mesh sieve
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 98 g soft white wheat berries
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. Mill 98 g soft white wheat berries on the lowest setting of your grain mill.
  3. In a bowl, mix together freshly milled flour, cocoa powder, and salt. I like to sift in the cocoa powder to remove any clumps.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  5. Beat the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
  6. Add in the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Spread into the pan and bake 25–30 minutes, until edges pull from sides. (Mine takes 25 minutes.)
  8. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Start checking at 25 minutes: The edges should pull from the pan, and the top look dry but slightly soft in the center.
  • Cool completely before slicing
  • Flour substitute: Use the same amount of einkorn, spelt, hard white or 3/4 c all-purpose. 
  • Double the recipe: Use a 9x13 pan and bake 35-40 min.
