Bread & baked goods

Since prehistoric times, bread has been a staple food in virtually every society. Traditionally, bread has been called the staff of life, implying that it alone is all that is required for total nutrition. Nothing should be added and nothing should be taken away from the grain –

I buy my flour from Arva Flour Mills, in Arva, Ontario,which is located on the banks of the Medway Creek and is believed, to be North America’s oldest continuously operating water powered commercial flour mill since 1819. This natural heritage flour is made from non GMO wheat from small nearby farms. The vintage roller mills produce a heritage flour with no preservatives or undesirable commercial additives. The aroma of all my breads made from this great flour is amazing. There are many traditional millers who treat the grains with respect, retaining much of their goodness. Most of such flours you can even order online. Whatever flour you buy in North America make sure it is free from PRESERVATIVES, CHEMICALS OR ENHANCERS (such as Bromate, Azodicarbonamide (ADA), or Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate etc) A number of these additives may be found in commercial flours, from agents used as dough conditioners, to others that aid in the fermentation process.
