Flour from Germany
I wish I could do better than this we are working on it.
It is interesting that Germans and most of Europe has a number on their flour. This is the percentage of Ash content which means how much of the kernel is left in. Cake Flour would have the least and Whole Grain Flours have the most.

 

Weizenmehl
White Flour
405 Flour that is a great household flour for baking cakes and cookies. You can use it for Broetchen, Flammenkuchen

Useful Tools
  To get a good bottom crust on your bread you really need a baking stone. Once you start using them you will love the results.

Docking your bread allows steam to escape to get the maximum rise out of your bread. You can use a special tool called a Lame or make your own with double edged razor blades.

 

Bench Knife
This all purpose tool is good for so many things, from dividing a dough to scraping the crusty flour that sticks to your counter.

 

Old Stone Baking Stone
This is recommended tops by Cook's Illustrated.
large 14 x 16 triangle, lead free clay.

 

Bread Lame

Double edged razor blades are much sharper than single edged.
