Windmill Makes Stone Ground Wheat Flour

Ever wonder how STONE GROUND FLOUR WAS/IS MADE by a windmill?






This is the bag they put the flour in to sell in the store.

This is a close up of the wood covered stones where the berries are ground.

Here are the stones without the wood.

Here are small stones to show you what the big stones looks like when put together to grind the flour.

Bags of wheat.

The windmill is huge as you can tell by the two people standing by it.

And of course there were dutch dancers by the windmill.

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!!!

Soft American-Style White Bread with SEEDS

I made soft American-Style white bread in abin5 page 204 with a different twist on the recipe.

For 1 big loaf I reduced the recipe in 1/2 and then changed the flour to fresh ground white wheat and half recipe would have been 3 1/2 cups flour but I used only 2 3/4 cups. Then fresh ground seeds(not completely to powder). About a tablespoon of each = Dill, poppy, sunflower nuts, flax seed, fennel, caraway seed, sesame, and not ground but pieces of walnuts.

Let rise for 2 hours.



Used fresh dough and put in greased bread pan and let rise 40 minutes.


Brushed to top of the loaf with melted butter and poked the top with toothpick instead of slashing the top.

Baked in the oven 350 degrees for 45 minutes and tested the bread for 200 degrees before taking out of the oven.


I let the bread cool before slicing and entering my mouth!!! LOL This bread was sooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood!!!

Here is the crumb and close up of seeds!



Pass the napkins please!!!


HOPE THIS PICTURE BROUGHT YOU SMILE!!!
