  • In a centuries old water mill, master baker Frank van Erd is bubbling with new ideas of how to make his bread even tastier and even healthier. He goes to bakers and brew master all over the region to source the best grains and discuss new recipes. He wants to inspire everyone with his passion for good, healthy food and runs baking workshops for school classes in the ancient mill. The children learn how to make vlaai - the Maastricht fruitcake. Meanwhile his wife Diana makes sure the bakery runs smoothly and enjoys the local cuisine too. Bacon and apple pancakes are one of her specialities, as well as the Maastricht version of Boeuf Bourgignon - Meestrichter Zuurvlees.
    INGREDIENTS FOR THE BREAD:
    [13:07] Four Ingredients for Bread: Grain, water, sourdough and salt.
    The key ingredient is the sourdough. He started making it 10 years ago and has been feeding it every day with flour, water and draff. The sourdough determines the taste of the bread. It makes the key difference.
    1. Modern hybrid wheat is not healthful, but Spelt (Dinkel), Einkorn, Emmer and Kamut (Khorasan) whole grains are healthful, due to easier digestibility.
    2. Pure water free of fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals is healthful (filtered if necessary).
    3. Natural, wild, airborne, sourdough yeast culture is more healthful than commercial yeast, such as Brewer's yeast and Baker's yeast.
    4. Refined, white table salt is not healthful, but whole salt (e.g., Celtic Salt) is healthful.
    What's cookin' is about traditional culinary recipes from different European regions.

    Beautiful area and town. Such hearty and delicious food. No microwave chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese for the young lady. She eats what has been served.

    Now this is what free enterprise looks like! This is real free market. This is what schools should be. Look at the lessons they have learned in this integrated learning experience...even history. Look at the enthusiasm. Kids LOVE learning like this. Hands on! And all other senses stimulated.

    My wife and I were fortunate to live in Maastricht in the early 1970s for a couple of years, it's the best place we ever have lived and have happy memories of our time there.

    4:07 : [Narrator: "Just before eight, Frank's wife and daughter arrive at the bakery. Ilsa still has some time before she needs to be at school"]. Ilsa [using pizza cutter to portion out dough] "I can be useful here. So I come to the bakery almost every day." That little girl has a better work ethic than a lot of adults!! Great channel, loved this episode.

      April When you are a child work is seem as play. I worked every morning in my aunt’s restaurant as a child. But to me it was fun. By age 5 i could do the register to the amazement of customers. When i grew up and had to take a job i disliked out if necessity i felt very differently about work. Now that i once again do what o love, feelings change again. It isn’t about work ethic. It’s about doing what you enjoy.

    Absolutely delightful! My mother is from Bavaria and we were raised in the Midwest. We always had delicious food and my mom taught us so many things. At almost 60, I credit these wholesome foods and habits, low “doing” to a very happy lifestyle, which I also taught our son. Thanks to the foodie movement in CA and many other states, we get a little of this loveliness

    Dear Mr Frank van Eld....I do admire what you're doing, because when you spent time learning the chilren about baking, you make sure that your work will live forever. You've got an incredible lovely family, you all seems so quiet and calm...and the mill is lovely, you're a real storyteller....all the best from Thomas, Denmark

    I lived there for 3 years. Best bread in the world by far. I am always harping on to people how amazing the bread and pastries were there. Unfortunately I am now gluten intolerant and I think it's probably from those years binging on all that fabulous bread!

    Beautiful. Love to see the dough go in the ovens and come out golden bread, ready to be torn with the hands and buttered or eaten plain with that lovely meat stew. Only thing missing here is the heady aroma of bread baking. Thats how it smells as you approach Heaven !

    @kr1886 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I enjoyed this very much! Franks' approach to his bread making, utilising very local ingredients, was good to see but then up popped this idea of growing sorghum, a grass with no history in Europe let alone Maastricht. I wonder how that worked out. Maastricht looked very appealing and worth a visit sometime.

    • @ericv5358
      @ericv5358 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      sorghum is a high nutrient crop grown where it is the main source of nutrition . but where the soil is poor and other nutrients are available, spelt and buckwheat are mostly grown . rye and barley grown for beer, oats for the chattel . wheat was in the rich land area and mostly reserved for the court .

    • @AML2000
      @AML2000 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      All salt is just sodium chloride (NaCl). Table salt has around 10ppm of sodium iodide added (NaI). Iodine is an essential trace element for nutrition. If you don't have enough then you will suffer health problems, with goiter being the most common. If you get iodine from other sources, of course, you can use non-iodized salt. Other than that, there is no health benefit from avoiding table salt, unless you suffer from high blood pressure, then you should cut down on your consumption. Whole salt (whatever that is!) wouldn't be any different concerning high blood pressure.
