Join me on a journey back to the Viking Age as we explore the ingenious methods Vikings used to transform wheat into their daily bread. This video delves into the operation of a simple wooden water mill, explaining how the power of flowing water was harnessed to grind wheat into fine flour. Discover the key components of the water mill, including the water wheel, drive shaft, and millstones, and see how they worked together to perform this essential task.
But the story doesn't end there! I also take you through the entire process of Viking bread-making, from farming and cultivating wheat, to milling the flour, and finally to baking bread. Learn about the importance of bread in the Viking diet, and see how archaeological findings from sites like Jorvik, Hedeby, Birka, Ribe, and Dublin provide evidence of these ancient practices.
Perfect for history buffs, food enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Viking life, this video offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday technologies and culinary traditions of the past.

I noticed with the “hand quern” (the smaller one, not water powered) that with the first grinding the grain looked reasonable for making porridge. If one were a bit creative and lazy, porridge left to sit for a few days, with water and a bit more added could become basically sourdough thus adding a bit of levening. Am I off base to think that leavened bread was also possible?
@RAMUNI-Viking
@RAMUNI-Viking Ай бұрын
Hello Winifred:) I am sure that would have made a very nice porridge. I will have to try that. The vikings knew of leavened bread but didnt know the theory or had acces to cultivated yeast. But by using older dough, beer or wild fermented fruits etc they might have been able to leaven their bread. They might even have had sourdough. But I dont know of any evidence of this. Thank you for a very interesting question and for watching the video. All the best

I just found your channel, sir. Beauty and a wealth of information! Thank you! I just recently purchased a hand wheat grinder. The idea seemed wonderful... until the reality of the work set in. Now, I'm pondering more the planning women did for their meals. They didn't just suddenly decide to bake some bread product and retrieve their bag or jar of wheat. There was purpose & intent & planning in everything. And isn't it a wonder that we have so many modern conveniences today ... and yet, we complain of having less time? 🤔 I'm thinking we need to rethink our priorities. ....grinding ones own flour or discovering the manual method for so many things can cause one to be quite reflective.

Hello Bonnie:) thanks for checking in. congratulations with your own grinder - I hope you get to make som good flour on it. Its interesting to hear the reflections you have made after trying your own hand on an ancient work. I feel the same long threads of thinking and understanding to people generations ago when I do things like this. I think it is healthy for us. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts. all the best.

@RAMUNI-Viking , yes sir, I enjoyed the same thoughts when I first stepped into the project of hand sewing a complete outfit for a 1750's, lower class, working woman. I knitted my stockings and hand sewed everything else. When I unfurled the linen fabric to make my chemise ... I was flooded with the wonder of how many women before me ... had laid out linen on a simple, husband-made, wooden table after the Wee Ones were to bed, to cut a linen undergarment. I felt an instant and strong connection to my mothers of yore! How silly we women of today might seem to them with our lack of knowing what they took to be common and mundane knowledge. ...so you can operate a computerized device. ...can you FEED yourself and your family? 🤔

First watch by me. It was very interesting. Loved the gardening with your little helpers. That interests me being a gardener myself. Also loved the sugar sack clothing. Noticed your hand made shoes. So cool. Will be watching more. When I was a child our school in Norsewood did a reinactment of Viking dances for I think it was 100 years celebrations. Now I don’t live in the north island but loved it at the time. Love from New Zealand.

Love your videos Ramuni - thanks - I could almost smell the bread you made here. I'm sure the bread was quite good after all the labor you needed to get the flour by hand. Would love to try getting my hands on some hand mill stones to try this myself. The work you put into these videos is greatly appreciated - I always look forward to your next video to see how you will entertain all of us differently. Your videos are very evocative with music, nature, and at times the very nature of the sounds of whatever you are working on in that particular video. Also - love hearing you work with your daughter in the garden. :)

Thank you Ian my friend. The People in Bork told me their theory that they must have gotten plans or Even an "engineer" from German area where the water mill was already known and in use back then imported here to help the Vikings to make their own mill. But to the regular farmer milling by hand this must have been like the Tesla of our time.

The stone needs to be sharpened at an angle so the grooves are shallower at the edges than in the center. That forces the flour out and prevents the whole thing from being stopped up.

A course weave linen works fine as a sieve, also called a bolt from the phrase to bolt the wheat. A willow hoop with a slightly baggy, droopy cloth sewn on can work or a very finely constructed basket that allows flour through but not whole grains can work as well. You did good with what you had. Saxon and viking farmers were often isolated and like American pioneers had to make do with what was available.

In Hamburg-Farmsen, close to where I live, there's an archaeological path in the middle of an apartment block. They reconstructed a pit house, a wooden well, garden, a ritual site and a big earthen oven and put up signs explaining the life in the iron age. That's because during the construction of said apartments in the 1950s they found remnants of a settlement from that time. Including an earthen oven which had charred bread rolls in it. And the fantastic thing is they were diamond shaped and very similar to the ones you could buy at the bakery around the corner. As we say in Germany "Das Auge isst mit." (The eye is also eating.) Meaning a meal should not only taste but also look good. People often think of the food of medieval and ancient times' simpler folk as bland and uncreative. Maybe because many movies and documentaries paint the picture of the bony and dirty peasant and his family sharing a pot of grey gruel or porridge. Everyone's eating from the same bowl for they can only afford that one. But that wasn't the case. The day to day meals sure were simple - today we also don't have a multi-course feast every single day - but it was very diverse and most of the days just as appetizing as (and for most way healthier than) what we eat today.

Thats a really interesting story from Hamborg. I Would love to see that. And I totally agree with what you are saying here about the view many people have of the "simpler" times. There is on reason to think that they did not use their ingredients and availible foods to best possible meal:) thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Highly appreciated. All the best

Bork looks great. When my family is on holiday in Blavand I'll convince them to make a visit there. I'm amazed of the craftsmenship of that mill. I've only seen 18th and 19th century ones yet and they are way closer to that one than to our industrial mills nowadays. I've only been to Haithabu (Hedeby) yet, but getting interested into reenactment lately I'm planning to see many other reconstruction museums in the near future. Any recommendations?

That sounds like a great idea. Bork will not dissapoint. about 1,5 hour driving south from Bork you find Ribe Viking Center. That is my homebase and one of the largest living viking history museums in Denmark. If I was this close I would not want to miss it. How did you find Hedeby? I have only been once but going back in autumn. Its great to hear you are finding an interest in reenactment:) All the best and I hope you have a great stay in Blaavand

Newcomer here. Enjoyed your video, reenactment & teaching. I am curious why other than the drone filming, is the majority of the filming so upclose? It's nice occasionally but not constantly. Hard to get a perspective when everything is filmed so up close. Just my opinion & I'm sure it won't make any difference. I'll check out your other videos. Perhaps this one is an anomaly. Thanks, it was interesting.

Hello. Thanks for the feedback. A big part of it is a style i like. You Will see some more of it in other video. But in this video there is two reasons. The first being it was raining outside the roof i was under so it was hard to place the camera far away. Second being that the place i was filming is not very interesting for a background inside the sheltered area. For that reason i am building my own Viking House to get a good location to film from more Angles. You Can see the first video already. I Hope this answers your question:)

Thank YOU for replying. I’m in Booubyjan Queensland Australia. I was thinking about basic bread making…do you think the grains/flour were soaked & allowed to ferment naturally (sourdough) before cooking on the hearth? It’d make the grain softer & easier to eat too, let alone more nutritious. Who knows. It’s just a thought, being a exploratory cook at home. I really like what you present. Do you have a video on how to make your cloth under pants? I’m learning SO MUCH. I’ve travelled once overseas (in my 40’s to Finland Sweden Norway….I LOVE that region. I’d go again if I won the lottery!!! Thanks again
@RAMUNI-Viking
@RAMUNI-Viking Ай бұрын
You are most welcome. Great to hear from Queensland:) I am sure the vikings would also soak and ferment before cooking to optimise the nutrition value of the food. But these things are very hard to proof with archaeology. I have video about the hose legs but not the undergarments yet. But it is on the list for future projects. I would also travel more if I won the lottery:) All the best:)

Hello Holly. I dont know. these things are very hard to document with archaeology. I dont think they knew excactly how leavening works or the theory behind yeast and fermentation, but for sure they must have known or learned that it does good to your food. So most likely - yes. The wheat I used and could buy in my local shop was Spelt.
