I talk a lot about flour here on this site, but I don’t want that to be a mere list of what I’m putting into my bread. I want you to understand flour and how it comes from a cereal grass seed and how millers crush that seed down into powder, or how they break it apart into component pieces first and then pulverize those pieces, and put it back together (or not).
