Now this is what free enterprise looks like! This is real free market. This is what schools should be. Look at the lessons they have learned in this integrated learning experience...even history. Look at the enthusiasm. Kids LOVE learning like this. Hands on! And all other senses stimulated.
My wife and I were fortunate to live in Maastricht in the early 1970s for a couple of years, it's the best place we ever have lived and have happy memories of our time there.
Great video. I have been a lover of ancient grain spelt for years. Great to see him using it along with mash from Brewery for his bakery. This guy should be awarded a medal for his contribution to his community.
Dear Mr Frank van Eld....I do admire what you're doing, because when you spent time learning the chilren about baking, you make sure that your work will live forever. You've got an incredible lovely family, you all seems so quiet and calm...and the mill is lovely, you're a real storyteller....all the best from Thomas, Denmark
Beautiful area and town. Such hearty and delicious food. No microwave chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese for the young lady. She eats what has been served.
4:07 : [Narrator: "Just before eight, Frank's wife and daughter arrive at the bakery. Ilsa still has some time before she needs to be at school"]. Ilsa [using pizza cutter to portion out dough] "I can be useful here. So I come to the bakery almost every day." That little girl has a better work ethic than a lot of adults!! Great channel, loved this episode.
April When you are a child work is seem as play. I worked every morning in my aunt’s restaurant as a child. But to me it was fun. By age 5 i could do the register to the amazement of customers. When i grew up and had to take a job i disliked out if necessity i felt very differently about work. Now that i once again do what o love, feelings change again. It isn’t about work ethic. It’s about doing what you enjoy.
Absolutely delightful! My mother is from Bavaria and we were raised in the Midwest. We always had delicious food and my mom taught us so many things. At almost 60, I credit these wholesome foods and habits, low “doing” to a very happy lifestyle, which I also taught our son. Thanks to the foodie movement in CA and many other states, we get a little of this loveliness
Frank has many passions! It is great to see. Especially when he was gently running his fingers through the tall grains. Beautiful episode. Thank you...
Wow I really have enjoyed this little documentary on bread and there beautiful village, I really want to move to holland or ad least visit someday. every thing they have made has such passion in it. It so refreshing to see people using such fresh ingredients. it's unbelievable and really beautiful.
Just discovered this channel and signed up pronto. I want to live and eat there. A beautiful slow pace, something we all should strive for in our lives. On to the next video!
Beautiful. Love to see the dough go in the ovens and come out golden bread, ready to be torn with the hands and buttered or eaten plain with that lovely meat stew. Only thing missing here is the heady aroma of bread baking. Thats how it smells as you approach Heaven !
Do you see how clean the streets are and along the road sides ... something that is so rare these days... Beautifully built town/villages and beautiful countryside.
I lived there for 3 years. Best bread in the world by far. I am always harping on to people how amazing the bread and pastries were there. Unfortunately I am now gluten intolerant and I think it's probably from those years binging on all that fabulous bread!
What a delightful film. Heretofore, all I knew about Maastricht was it location and description and as the home of Andre Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra. My wife and I attended one of his concerts in Florida.
Love the Dutch people, I have visited almost all of Europe and seen many beautiful place, but I love the Netherlands because it has the best and friendliest people in Europe.
great city where my Parents were born and lived, My mothers dad was a baker in the city too, (my opa). We live in New Zealand and yes I love baking bread as well. loved this clip thank you
INGREDIENTS IN BREAD [13:07] Four Ingredients for Bread: Grain, water, sourdough and salt. The key ingredient is the sourdough. He started making it 10 years ago and has been feeding it every day with flour, water and draff. The sourdough determines the taste of the bread. It makes the key difference. 1. Modern hybrid wheat is not healthful, but Spelt (Dinkel), Einkorn, Emmer and Kamut (Khorasan) whole grains are healthful, due to easier digestibility. 2. Pure water free of fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals is healthful (filtered if necessary). 3. Natural, wild, airborne, sourdough yeast culture is more healthful than commercial yeast, such as Brewer's yeast and Baker's yeast. 4. Refined, white table salt is not healthful, but whole salt (e.g., Celtic Salt) is healthful.
All salt is just sodium chloride (NaCl). Table salt has around 10ppm of sodium iodide added (NaI). Iodine is an essential trace element for nutrition. If you don't have enough then you will suffer health problems, with goiter being the most common. If you get iodine from other sources, of course, you can use non-iodized salt. Other than that, there is no health benefit from avoiding table salt, unless you suffer from high blood pressure, then you should cut down on your consumption. Whole salt (whatever that is!) wouldn't be any different concerning high blood pressure.
Valerie Mercer .This is one Country you should visit I was lucky went there few times my brother lives there transportation is dream all sign in English every body’s speak English mack sure go on flower 🌸 festival and visit every were when you go to Harlem is like you arrived In 16 centuries.
awesome ... I love the way these little towns and villages do things as they carry on traditions and improve on quality to produce the best products for consumption.
I baked our family bread out of spelt for a year; once you get used to the loft and gluten you can bake a loaf very close to wheat but more flavorful. Thanks for showing the many recipes.
I enjoyed this very much! Franks' approach to his bread making, utilising very local ingredients, was good to see but then up popped this idea of growing sorghum, a grass with no history in Europe let alone Maastricht. I wonder how that worked out. Maastricht looked very appealing and worth a visit sometime.
sorghum is a high nutrient crop grown where it is the main source of nutrition . but where the soil is poor and other nutrients are available, spelt and buckwheat are mostly grown . rye and barley grown for beer, oats for the chattel . wheat was in the rich land area and mostly reserved for the court .
You must've had good ones, my mother had agrophobia, my father a bad temper! We kids were always dead scared of him and ended up hating him! I could not get out if the house fast enough! Roman Catholic, yuck!
The Godless Hahahaha I am dutch. I live in Holland. And Holland is the same as ‘the Netherlands’. So you talk really nonsense. We have two ‘provinces. Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. So when you talk about Holland it’s the same as the netherlands
@@jeanetvandermeer1277 , I'm dutch too, living in Canada now. Technically it is absolutely correct that the country is Nederland - The Netherlands, and while Holland is used to simplify the name of the country for tourists, the two provinces, Noord Holland en Zuid Holland, are the provinces in the Netherlands. it is somethings I have to explain to the Canadian tourists.
Sorghum is commonly used in the United States, as the source of carbohydrates in a regional variant of molasses. It might be useful as a cane-sugar substitute in stroop or jam recipes.
What a pleasant documentary. We too make our own bread by hand from scratch and have used spelt, though just for us. I think I would like to try sorghum and see how that goes. I think we would like Dutch culture and would like to visit the Netherlands sometime.
"Perfect for a hot summer's night dinner"!!!! It doesn't get hot in any part of the Netherlands lol. Oh well, weather aside, this video has made me reminisce on my youth in Holland and the best parents a child could hope for and now I'm going to try making bread from sorghum flour which is available here and maybe some taai taai to take me back to my childhood.
Makes my mouth water! Wish he would start a bakery in New Zealand! My parents considered horse meat for the poor, not them. I have used spelt flour for years in Auckland, makes yummy bread and better for you
that opinion about horsemeat came from the fact that only old horses were slaughtered after a lifetime of farm or delivery service tough, smelly, stingy meat and that is why it was considered low class food . until consumption became popular and horses were shipped from argentina in horrible conditions for the european markets . now all meat is processed before shipping . the english prejudice against horsemeat is similar : it is what poor starving irish people ate .
what americans put on a breakfast plate is gross to other parts of the world . you should try a scottish breakfast sometimes . ever heard of haggis ? try it sometimes . yum !
Idyllic. Its cool they have that multigenerational thing going on. Its a little more bootstrap in the US. I helped Peter and Laura install their very first used oven in Great Falls, MT. They went on to be Great Harvest Bread Co.
Now this is what free enterprise looks like! This is real free market. This is what schools should be. Look at the lessons they have learned in this integrated learning experience...even history. Look at the enthusiasm. Kids LOVE learning like this. Hands on! And all other senses stimulated.

Very interesting show. The food, the farmers, the brewer, the bread, cave tour. Happy living!
I love Holland. I lived in Tilburg when I was a child and miss being there. Maastricht is beautiful. I love the people.

HEAVEN on earth! Everything locally grown/made. How wonderful.
What a wonderful film about a wonderful baker and his family!
Love grandma’s game. Silly, most fun.
Nice place,the children seem good-mannered,clean and tidy people.A few years ago I visited The Netherlands the people were so friendly.
Very good video. originally thought I was going to watch another bread making show. But I'm glad I stayed around for the whole show. Thank you.
Frank has many passions! It is great to see. Especially when he was gently running his fingers through the tall grains. Beautiful episode. Thank you...
This is the cutest episode of the series.
11:06
Wow I really have enjoyed this little documentary on bread and there beautiful village, I really want to move to holland or ad least visit someday. every thing they have made has such passion in it. It so refreshing to see people using such fresh ingredients. it's unbelievable and really beautiful.
I have been a baker for many, many years! Some very interesting techniques! LOVE IT! :)

Love to see these young baker boys so enthusiastic about their work.
Beautiful. Love to see the dough go in the ovens and come out golden bread, ready to be torn with the hands and buttered or eaten plain with that lovely meat stew. Only thing missing here is the heady aroma of bread baking. Thats how it smells as you approach Heaven !
Well done Frank, what a wonderful life you have made,
Thank you wocomo Cooks I am always enchanted by your tales
Ahhh, brings back my childhood of going to visit our Opa's and Oma's in Arnhem and Applescha. Best memories I have.
This series is wonderful.
...and not one person staring at their mobile device. Very refreshing!
Went to my local Football club in Canberra and saw 3 mates all staring into their phone, l neglect my sleep also.
Yes, I noticed that at the end. I just love that.
I want to go and live there! The food looks outrageous and delicious..
What an excellent documentary, the passion that goes into each process is just fantastic.
I love all the little details.. And the sounds of other languages is wonderful too... Food is such a marvelous aspect of life
I loved this whole story. Such a wonderful way of life.
Do you see how clean the streets are and along the road sides ... something that is so rare these days... Beautifully built town/villages and beautiful countryside.
that is the reputation of cleanliness of the dutch people . in amsterdam, the streets were swept every day after the mess tourists leave everywhere .
Good to see both boys and girls involved in the classes. All look yummy.
I lived there for 3 years. Best bread in the world by far. I am always harping on to people how amazing the bread and pastries were there. Unfortunately I am now gluten intolerant and I think it's probably from those years binging on all that fabulous bread!
Wonderful to see such a lifestyle. Thank you for filming this and making it available in the US.
What a delightful film. Heretofore, all I knew about Maastricht was it location and description and as the home of Andre Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra. My wife and I attended one of his concerts in Florida.
Somehow I stumbled on this video and am so glad I did. What a wonderful place this is, now I want to visit and also taste that bread.
What a delightful journey into food and culture! Enjoyed it immensely. Great video, audio, and content. Excellent editing! Subscribed.
It's mesmerising to watch
Love the Dutch people, I have visited almost all of Europe and seen many beautiful place, but I love the Netherlands because it has the best and friendliest people in Europe.

Why would your family leave? That is just nuts.

in n.america there is oil/fat/shortening in everything!! no wonder bread cannot match that bread over there !
This video totally makes me want to visit this bakery in Holland...and Holland in general....but I need to see this beautiful mill wheel.
Valerie Mercer .This is one Country you should visit I was lucky went there few times my brother lives there transportation is dream all sign in English every body’s speak English mack sure go on flower 🌸 festival and visit every were when you go to Harlem is like you arrived In 16 centuries.
Well....with "Holland" you'll end up in the west, it's in the south-east of the Netherlands or Nederland XD.
Maastricht is an awesome place and I can hardly wait to visit again and try the bakery!
I love it!! I ate fresh bread everyday when I visited Holland MMMM!!
Frank & Family & Company have got it going on! The bread looks FANTASTIC! 🍞🥐🥖😋
awesome ... I love the way these little towns and villages do things as they carry on traditions and improve on quality to produce the best products for consumption.
What a delightful family and say of life
Very nice informative video. Loved every minute.
Oh wow! Very lovely place, food and people. I want to stay there next year and get to know more. Fingers crossed
Thank you, this is gold!👌
Great video. UA-cam should recommend it more.
Very informative and enjoyable video! Thanks!
I really enjoyed your vdo and will watch more of them.
What a wonderful video. I learned a lot.

I have Dutch ancestors. First time seeing the Netherlands. Thanks.
A very refreshing video.
Loved it! Very interesting. As for Sorghum , we grow it in USA for years as a cattle feed, among other uses.
Beautiful place, healthy and delicious food, god I wish I lived there!!

Dutch parents are so awesome.
You must've had good ones, my mother had agrophobia, my father a bad temper! We kids were always dead scared of him and ended up hating him! I could not get out if the house fast enough! Roman Catholic, yuck!
I enjoyed this film very much. My thanks for posting it.
Dutch potatoes!!!!! One of the many things I miss dearly about living in the Netherlands.
Me too, gebakken aardapeltjes, heerlijk! A dish we used to get in the Netherlands if we were sick, came with appelmoes
Those did look tasty😋.
The Godless it’s just that there’s some Dutch varieties of potatoes, and we have a bunch of potato centered dishes
@Levent A terroir : potatoes are local, not industrial from the other side of the world (figuratively)
@The Godless if you had a tasting of a local potato vs an industrial potato from some faraway area, you would notice the difference .
Wonderful video. A beautiful family.
wow
super mouthwatering
Amazing channel, amazing series.
Yes. Very Dutch too.
@The Godless We've changed that.

The kid's expression at 7:15 "went to war and never came back," priceless.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!
What a nice life they have. He is an awesome family man.
Amazing people. Loved watching them :)
Love Holland from Indonesia 🧡
What a wonderful life these people have.
Wow look how clean those buckets are
Sorghum is commonly used in the United States, as the source of carbohydrates in a regional variant of molasses. It might be useful as a cane-sugar substitute in stroop or jam recipes.
It’s a lovely city and the whole of Limburg is very pleasant.
lovely video very educational
After watching this, I would love to visit Holland and Maastricht specially just to check out lunch at Frank's bakery!
I really enjoyed this video, couldn’t stop thinking what wholesome life
I enjoyed this video very much! -Diana from the usa.
great production quality!
I’m making plans to visit this wonderful place.
love this channel finally I found English😊❤👍😍
What a pleasant documentary. We too make our own bread by hand from scratch and have used spelt, though just for us. I think I would like to try sorghum and see how that goes. I think we would like Dutch culture and would like to visit the Netherlands sometime.

It looks so idyllic! Of course, they have their own issues, but life here seems so charming for this family. Miss my "Bauern Brot".
all that food looks friggin delicious
Making pancakes with bakon and apples is something i just CANNOT fathom.....at all :O
what americans put on a breakfast plate is gross to other parts of the world . you should try a scottish breakfast sometimes . ever heard of haggis ? try it sometimes . yum !
Idyllic. Its cool they have that multigenerational thing going on. Its a little more bootstrap in the US. I helped Peter and Laura install their very first used oven in Great Falls, MT. They went on to be Great Harvest Bread Co.
