Bread made with this flour and my milled white wheat and rye was from ABin5 page 58.
My small loaf for two of stone ground flour with added fresh ground rye flour and lots of seeds. In this small loaf size 4x6 is filled with 1 tablespoon each of seed ground in mini grinder for better flavor: flax, fennel, caraway and 1 tablespoon each of whole sunflower and walnuts!!!

  2. Even thought I lived in MI most of my life, I've never been to Holland. I think I am missing out!

    Love the idea of adding ground sunflower seeds...LOVE sunflower seeds!

  3. Who ever would have thought that Holland Michigan would be Dutch? I admit to having mill envy--theirs is definitely bigger than mine. Great looking bread, too.

  4. Wow...that would be so much more fun than grinding it by hand with my Country Living mill! The bread looks delicious!! LOVE sunflower seeds in bread. They do that a lot here in Germany.
