Hello! My 4 year old daughter wanted to know how wheat turns into bread. Thank you for posting! She loved the video 😄
I'm thrilled she liked it and I apologize for not seeing this comment until just now!
My sister in law informed me after watching, that whole what's bran is sharp and cuts the gluten during kneading. If I'd mixed it less it would have raised better. Hopefully I'll get round to making a part 2 with better bread.
ALSO.. you might enjoy the one I posted a few weeks ago about wild oats. Did you know they can dig themselves into the ground? Crazy. I gathered a bunch & planning to try to make flour with it too.
Thanks for checking it out and your comment.
Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment!
Awesome! We'll definitely check out the wild oats video next!
My 5 year old asked how to make bread and I found this video. Thank you for posting this. We both learned something!
Glad you enjoyed it. I've got a couple others waiting to do, but it seems there's too many projects!
If you're making bread from wheat, don't kneed it as much as I did. The fresh bran cuts the gluten fibers.
Maybe I'll post another with better bread results.

Hello againfrom Germany. Some years ago, my boys managed to leave their lunchboxes untouched until the selfbaked bread was rotten. So I made them to bake their own, beginning with collecting wheat, just like In this great video. Many people know the cost of a bread, but they dont know of all the labour behind it. I spent the summer holidays on a tractor on my grandpas farm from the age of 12 til 23. Just to get laughed at that my family wasnt on vacaction in greece or Italy during the break. I hope that Videos like yours make at least some people start to use their brains. Thanks for uploading! 👍
Thanks Steph! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Both my sister in law and one of my daughters told me after I shared the video they could have helped make the bread and it would have turned out much better. I think I'll end up making another one or two to make perfect whole wheat bread to share & show how.
I also spent much of my youth driving tractor. usually rake, or cut hay, or summer fallow. It wasn't always fun, but it was rewarding. I can imagine you also made up songs or poetry, laughed at your own jokes and dreamed of far away places while you spent those many hours on a tractor seat?
Skills of work are not as common these days. Lots of people think they need to be entertained constantly or they don't "feel like it". They miss out on seeing the sights or imagining things themselves. Like the video I posted in October driving through the Jasper National park: I know some people who will travel through places just like that and the children are staring at an electronic screen the entire time, and miss the whole thing!
Hope you are doing well. I wish I could speak German. I've watched quite a few old black and white German documentaries about things like cutting stone in a quarry or running a blacksmith shop. Always interesting.
What a lovely family having bread together, I love what you have.
Thanks Seth! We do all kinds of stuff, though cutting firewood might not be their favorite lol.
Another video you might enjoy watching is exploring an abandoned beaver house with my kids. I'll try to find the link and post it below.

I love you and your family
Thanks!!
Always something happening it seems. I try to share stuff that is interesting or entertaining. Stay tuned for more fun my friend, and thanks for your kind comment.
Very cool video. I always wondered how you turn raw wheat into a usable product.
Actually planning to do another of this experiment. My sister in law gave me some pointers on the bread making side of things, and there's a little strip of wheat that got missed by the combine in a field nearby.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video!
Thank you. Stay tuned for more my friend. I have many projects, videos and ideas yet to come.
Great video, my son asked how bread was made, now he knows.
Well I am very glad that you enjoyed it thank you. I am planning on making another short one like this, I think they're just combining wheat now and there's a little left over.
I thought I could do a better job and make the bread better than that batch turned out.
Stay tuned!
I'm hungry now. Black strap molasses with that bread well buttered, yum!
Good Idea! I eat tons of honey but not opposed to that option either. Tried to show enough without becoming a long drawn out "documentary".
Hope you are well.
Loved this one!!
Thanks Finn! I've since learned (after my sister in law watched this video) that I would have been better to mix only once. Apparently the bran cuts the gluten when you knead it. Perhaps a part 2.
BUT- I did harvest a bucket of wild oats this fall. Going to try it out for making flour and bread. Wondering how it will turn out.
Did you watch the video on wild oats planting itself?
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! The bread turned out a bit too heavy & I promptly got some advice from my sister in law how to improve it.
I just harvested another little bunch to make version 2 (hopefully with improvements lol).
Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend and thanks for watching and for your comment.
Didn’t look too bad at all good job
Thanks Jason. I've had home made before & helped plant grow & combine but never cut & made like the Little Red Hen.
Kind of a fun project.
@@lovesloudcars watch all ur vlogs lived in Alberta for many years
This is a good video
Thank you! I hope other people also enjoy it. It was something that I was curious about and hope to do another right away. I have since learned more about how to make the bread better.
Stay tuned for more my friend and thanks for watching and for your comment.
This is real education. Thanks Man.
Thanks! I could do much better at the bread making. I'm hoping today after church to collect some more. The harvest is over and I want to answer a couple more questions. How many loaves of bread are made from a field? How many plants to make one loaf?
Keep watching my friend, and thank you for watching and for your comment!
Bro got out the crafting table 😂
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and for your comment. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend. I post lots of different stuff.
@@lovesloudcars no problem! Good video and very helpful.
Love it. you gain another sub
Thank you tons! I try to share stuff that is different, entertaining or just plain cool in my travels. Hopefully I'll keep you entertained.
Looks like fun. Whole wheat bread can be tough to do. I make whole grain bread (usually wheat and rye) in my dutch oven when camping that usually turns out great. I have all the the dry ingredients ready in a gallon freezer bag. I put water in the bag the night before, squish it around to mix it, and make it extra wet because whole grain soaks up a lot of water. Then I put it in the cooler or someplace cool and let it rise overnight. I'll put it somewhere warm a couple hours before I cook it. When it's nice and puffy I cut the bag open and plop it directly in the dutch oven, no kneading required.
Now THAT sounds like an excellent idea!
I'm thinking this recipe needs some practice with "known quality" wheat, but still the dutch oven method is intriguing.
You could send me the recipe you use if you want to lovesloudcars@gmail.com.
I've got a few dutch ovens, but have never used them properly.
My brother in law George used to belong to the "Dutch Oven Guild" in Portland area. They had cook - offs sometimes. Can you imagine seeing the road sign written on cardboard "D.O.G. cook- off next right" ? That's my favorite part. lol
@@lovesloudcars I have two small dutch ovens my grandmother gave to me, but I don't have a lot of experience. I have mostly just made bread. I'm impressed by the people that cook multiple things with stacked ovens, that would take a lot of practice to get the heat right.
I don't have a real recipe, just something I developed by trial and error. I think I have some notes on my old phone I'll try to look later. As I recall it's about 3 cups of flour (whole wheat or a mix of wheat and rye) a packet of yeast, teaspoon or two of salt. I don't measure the water, I just add a little at a time and squeeze the bag around until it is plenty wet, like thicker than pancake batter but not as thick as a normal white flour dough. It will soak up some of the water as it rests. I let the gas out of the bag a few times as it's rising, because it will inflate the bag. When it's time to cook it, it should have a lot of bubbles and it will still be pretty sticky dough stuck to the bag. I slice the bag open and gently scrape it off the bag and into the preheated and greased dutch oven with a spatula, careful not to collapse the bubbles.
24th already. Merry Xmas to you and the family
Thanks Barny! You too. I hope your Christmas this crazy year is nice.
Weather is great. Just milked the neighbor's cow for them while they're gone for a few days, now I'm going to go cut some firewood! ( get to - don't HAVE to) so it's going to be a fun hour or so. Made a short video yesterday stacking some & a little weasel showed up to "help" maybe I'll get it posted right away.
Cool video
Thanks Fazoodle. Glad you enjoyed it. I plan to make another with better bread results, (I learned a few things since posting this), but I keep getting distracted with the hundreds of other things I do.

Good one looks like fun. Where would someone be able to get a grain grinder?
It was fun. Glad you liked it.
Grinders: I can't give you any good advice there. We've got a couple & I'd say there are probably dozens of websites selling all types of them.
I'd love to build a big old school one some day. - bicycle powered or something like that.
Tried that once, Dad said he needed an axe to slice it
The crust on the small ones were close! A little practice might help me out & I'm interested in trying that recipe with wheat I KNOW the quality of to see if it makes a difference.
Still kind of a fun project.
I just wanna say man, you look alot like woody harrelson
I've heard that before! Poor fellow stuck looking like me hey??
Hope you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend.
So did you figured it out why it did not raise like the bread we get from the stores?
We make chapati also known as roti in India with fresh grined wheat flour.
Kneading the bread too much causes it to not raise properly.
The bran is is the cause of failure. It is sharp and cuts the gluten strands. If all the dry ingredients are mixed and left alone in a loaf shape it will rise. Then instead of mixing it like normally done, cook it right away.
