We have a heavy-duty mixer with dough hooks ... used most recently by Tom the Son, iirc. We have a grain grinder, too.
Lots of folks around here have the “wheat mills” but I could never afford them, even when Igor was bringing in good money. According to him, (who grew up in Utah) it “wasn’t necessary.” The turns our lives took for 15 years proved that buckets of wheat would have been very hard to move and store.
However, I did have a very nice Oster that came with the dough hooks, the blender, and even an ice cream maker and I loved it. And used it. But when hard times came, it had to be sold. I’ve never been able to afford another with a motor powerful enough for the bread-making jobs. So I have a small hand mixer.
And there are some things I really want but can’t get. So I just dream and remember the aroma of bread dough when I lifted to towel to check the progress. And then the baking, filling the neighborhood with good smells!
