*A grain mill -- the one I use is Nutrimill Classic
*Mixer (optional) - the one I use is the Ankarsrum
(A mixer is OPTIONAL.  You can, of course, knead by hand, but it's a lot of time and work.  This mixer is a BEAST.  It is the only one on the market that still has the transmission made of metal rather than plastic parts so it will last forever.  If you have a Kitchenaid, you can definitely use that, but you will likely kill it eventually because it has to work harder to knead the dough with fresh milled flour, so my recommendation is if you want to have a mixer, start saving now and when you kill the mixer you already have, you can get this beauty..  You can see the way this machine works so well in the video above.)
​*Bread Pan - the one I use for a "real" loaf size is  Norpro 12 inch Pan
​*Organic Wheat Berries - For yeast breads, I usually use a blend of hard white wheat, hard red wheat, and Kamut.  For muffins, cakes, cookies, etc. I usually use soft white wheat and maybe some barley mixed in.  (It is cheapest to buy in bulk and if you start making bread regularly, this is the way you'll want to buy. Bread Beckers packages them in buckets but they are a little pricier.  Azure,, Farmer's Storehouse, and Bulk Natural Foods package in bags that you would them need to put in your own buckets but it's a bit cheaper per pound..) I get mine from:
​Azure Standard
​Bread Beckers

​*Extra Virgin Olive Oil - I get mine in 5L tins from Bread Beckers
​*Honey - I get mine by the gallon from Azure (link above) or Bread Beckers (link above)
​*Yeast
​*Eggs - raise your own or get from a local farmer
​*Salt -- only use real salt! -- you can buy this in bulk from some of the places above
​*Sunflower lecithin - I get this from Bread Beckers (link above) - this makes the loaf a bit softer
​*Flax seed - buy this whole and grind just before use in a coffee or seed grinder (NOT in your wheat mill!!!) to get the best results - flax seed makes your loaf softer, adds nutrition, and seems to make it last longer.  I get mine from Azure or Bread Beckers (links above)
