My favorite take away from this is that after milling a certain amount of grain they have to pause so the stones don't get too hot and start destroying the wheat. Very informative and enjoyable.
When I lived and worked in Afghanistan I used to go to one of the local stone millers in Taloqan to get my flower. What a great experience and great tasting flour for baking breads.
I am thrilled to support Hayden Mills by buying their flour in my local Fry's store. Thank you to Hayden and Fry's for partnering. I do live in the general Phoenix area tho.
Thank you John and Hayden Mills for showing us your process. I am surprised at the size of the milling operation. I would have expected a larger operation for the amount of flour you use and the variety of grains the mill processes. Amazing people.
Thanks Proof Bread for showing us this. It would be interesting to know more about mill stones. What kind of material are they made of? What kind of maintanance do they need? Here in Europe most common for local grain milling are the Osttiroler stone mills. But most of them have synthetic millstones. Natural stones are very rare.
It’s not us. It’s the topic. I think people are intrigued to connect to such a staple food, and discuss how it might be better. I think more and more people are rediscovering their roots. Perhaps that’s what caught your attention. Food production as a whole might be common, but it’s taken for granted. This gives you an inside look at what can be done at the community level.
I was happily surprised when Diego said that all the equipment is made in Italy! A little vicinity from me, living in the boot, that also buys flour from a local mill that uses stones and produces some really great flour!
Love seeing this kinda stuff. I've been watching your videos for a while now and never knew this video existed. Also, it's rather sad that theres always 11 or so people that thumbs down these videos. There's so much depth in them.
That "peeler" (huller) looks more like a pearler. The purpose is to remove the hull and polish off some of the bran to "clean" the grain. It cooks and looks better. It most definitely reduces the extraction level of the flour, as well as dietary fiber content. It is still considered "whole grain" until you sift.
Gabe Brown is carrying out some important soil results, his farm is a mixture of grasses, beef, and chicken production. These heritage grains, are not the past....They are in fact the future. Given a choice, since leaving home in '99, l choose to feed myself, this way, for me, it is a pleasure to eat this way. l choose the highest animal welfare too, and organic also has its role too, in sustainability. I think there was even a mention, of the milling stones originating from my country!
The germ is removed from the flour mainly for shelf life. Whole flour with both the bran and the wheat germ will only last about 3 days before it spoils as the germ contains a lot of moisture. Store bought flour has the bran and germ removed and preservatives added for longevity. All raw flour can have salmonella bacteria - be sure to clean all surfaces after cooking with flour.
I'm curious to know why there is such a big difference between europe and the states when it comes to awareness of grains. Here in europe it's totally normal to find flour from 5-7 different grains in any grocery shop, with 2-3 different variants of sift on each of them.
I think the easy explanation is that industrial bread and industrial production of products from grain took over entirely for a long while. Europe never lost its roots to quality grains, because Europeans put more value on good food from grains. In Poland in particular, supermarkets weren’t a big thing even 20 years ago. In the states supermarkets have been the primary way if obtaining food since something like the 1950’s.
@@ProofBread Very interesting. This must have put a demand on what grains farmers grew aswell. It would be interesting to know what grains were accessible before the shift to industrialized flour/bread production occurred.. and if they resurface again
My regional mill makes white flour but they use a hammer mill instead of a roller mill which according to them keeps it from cooking, they claim the hottest it gets is around 95 degrees. It's what I use in my white sourdough and tastes pretty good. I still usually add some whole wheat flour for flavor though. The super local mill (that's in a garage attached to a coffee shop) makes their own bread, but they don't sell it as flour, yet. They say they plan to eventually though.
Very interesting, again. I’m not sure why I’m so interested, but I am. I’m going to go to a mill outside of Eugene, Oregon soon and buy some flour. I have to buy a scale and thermometer before I start baking. I had no idea I’d need that stuff.
Could you in the future make a video on how they clean the wheat berries? That is the hardest part for most home millers and the most off putting. The flour screens I had heard of, but I never thought I could get type 00 from my home milled flour, that would be something fun to try, or t85, t65. Using a smaller mill at home allows us to use a whole lot more variety in screens. Now if I can only find where to buy such screens or what the standards are, hole size wise.
Hello from France, question to Diego, where have you found the brand mill Partisani ? Are you satisfied about the équipement, i'm looking informations about this mill équipement. Thank you for all this nice job and vidéo 👍
Italian here, that uses these type of flours. 00 is just referring to how filtered the flour is. That means that once it is milled it goes to the finest meshes to exclude anything that isn't part of the endosperm. It is usually very white, but that depends on the type of wheat used. Then there's 0, 1, 2 and whole wheat, each progressively darker and less finely sifted from the mill.

It’s been over 100 years since stone milling was commonplace. There are a couple manufacturers of mills like New American Stone Mills, but overall I wholeheartedly agree.

Thanks for the great video. This mask thing is so stupid. Constant touching of the mask and hands in the flour. Dont get me wrong, I couldnt care about a germ, excuse the punn. The masks must go.
Why do you assume they're touching the flour with dirty hands? Also, you are supposed to cook the flour before eating it, and cooking sterilizes anything.
Me too! It totally over filled and ended up spilling a bit on the floor. The guy looked at it at least a couple of times and didn't seem bothered by it. I thought the camera guy was going to point it out.

Wow! That was an education! This is fabulous! Thanks for the ride along.
This reminds me so much of the process I see used in the coffee roasting industry. Including a Fair Trade aspect as well. Very insightful.
This is very informative and very welcome to see deeper into your bread and the processes behind the scenes. Good stuff.
This was awesome to see. Makes me wish all our food was made this way.
Very informative and simplified in a way for all to understand. Also great to see all the machines in action.
Thanks Jon that was really interesting to see the milling process
I don't know how this channel makes a middle-whelming task like making bread so interesting but dammit I'm engrossed every video.

Love the fact that stone milling saves the vital and essential nutrients...
I knew the milling processes and grain breakdown, but had never seen the equipment.
Thanks for sharing this important information. it’s all about our health. 👍

@Kelly White sadly amazon does not ship where i live
Excellent, great info. Thanks for sharing
Hello John , This is wonderful. However can you please explain what is 00 flour ?
@Any One NO Durum wheat
But Wheat
"00" (zero-zero) is the white flour. The all purpouse, like you said. But It is never made with Durum.
00-0-1-2- whole- is the scale for grano tenero (soft! wheat).
Hi Proof Bread...please could I enquire what the brand / company that makes this modern stone mill is. Thanks
Fantastic video!
Did anyone else get anxious when they walked away from the catch bin to look at the peeler?
you could see it start to overflow in the back
oh man - i was hollering at my screen! hahahaha
I got nervous about their masks constantly falling down!
I love this.

Is 00 like white flour ?

Checking how fine the flour is by the rule of thumb ;)
Proving once again you can create real products on a local small level that are of quality and people will pay for them.
Good to finally see you wearing a mask. My sympathies to the families and friends of over 220,000 Americans who have died.
Be fair. When working at home with people you live with it is no necessary. He was visiting the mill so it was.

watching that bucket fill with flour while they are ignoring it is giving me anxiety
It’s amazing that America has lost its capacity to produce machines to mill flour traditionally, and has to import them from Europe!!

I have not seen where the wheat is washed in water from the harmful substances and dirt

The second millimeter qualitatively shelter because coffee conservatively last towards a fresh gemini. third, bawdy aluminum
Much ado about nothing
Stop touching the flower with your bare hands stop it go wash your hands put on gloves
Why do you assume they're touching the flour with dirty hands? Also, you are supposed to cook the flour before eating it, and cooking sterilizes anything.
Flour isn't considered a clean, sterile ingredient. There hands may be the cleanest things that the grain has ever been in contact with.
