Flour milling

We milled some flour today!  This time, we used our fairly cheap hand grinder, so it took a while. The kids helped a little, but turning the crank was pretty tough for them.

Starting with about 4 cups(?) of hard red wheat berries (the seeds), we milled and sifted down to about 1.2 cups of fine flour, several cups of coarse flour, and maybe a half cup of coarse bran.  We've been making 100% whole wheat bread (with gluten flour) in our bread machine lately, so we'll try for a loaf from a mix of coarse and fine flour.
