How Is Bread Made From Wheat? 🍞

0:00How Is Bread Made From Wheat?

LumiHave you ever wondered how one warm loaf of bread starts out as wheat?

BrikWatch closely, right here under the stars, and our whole bread answer begins.

BrikBrik points to a wide, dark field, tall golden stalks swaying soft in the night.

LumiNot one single stalk out there looks like bread yet, only quiet, sleeping wheat.

BrikEverything you see around you was made by God the Father out of love for us, and He asks us to call Him Father.

LumiGood morning, dear friends! We are Brik and Lumi, and today we got up very early to watch the sunrise together.

BrikLook, the stars are still shining, and in a few minutes the sun will come up just for us.

LumiOpen your eyes wide and come along, today something special is waiting.

BrikCan you say wheat? Wheat.

LumiWheat is a tall grass, and hiding inside its feathery head are tiny golden grains.

BrikGod the Father loves every one of us, and He wants each of you to be with Him in Heaven one day.

LumiBy morning, we will pick our first stalk and see those grains for ourselves.

BrikEven in the dark, a giant windmill turns slowly past the trees.

LumiA cow! Can you say cow? Cow.

BrikThe whole barnyard rests quiet, close together, safe under the wide night sky.

2:00What Happens in the Wheat Field at Night?

LumiChewing slowly like this, Coco settles down warm beside the sleeping wheat field.

BrikNot one blade of wheat in the whole field stops its soft, swaying dance.

BrikGod the Father sent us the Lord Jesus, because He wants real happiness for us.

LumiResting quietly like this, Coco feels warm and safe beside her two best friends.

BrikA little cricket! Can you say cricket? Cricket, a tiny bug that sings at night.

LumiIts small song rises and falls, like the field breathing slow in its sleep.

BrikThe whole barnyard waits patiently.

LumiCan you wait quietly too?

BrikNot one star stops twinkling.

LumiCoco leans into Brik's side, warm and safe among the swaying stalks.

BrikThe stars above the wheat field blink, calm and perfectly still tonight.

LumiMary holds our hand like the very best Mother, because she is our Mother and the Queen of Heaven.

BrikCan you say harvest? Harvest. It means gathering the ripe crops from the field.

LumiSoon this whole golden field will be ready for its very first harvest.

BrikCan you say field? Field. A wide, open stretch of land where wheat grows.

LumiNot one star above the barn stops its steady, gentle twinkle tonight.

BrikCoco's slow chewing sounds calm and steady beside the sleeping golden stalks.

LumiSomewhere out in the dark, a cricket keeps up its same, steady little song.

BrikNot one grain in the whole field is quite ready to leave its stalk yet.

LumiThe night air smells warm and a little dusty, like sun-baked straw resting quiet.

BrikCan you say silo? Silo. A tall, round building where farmers keep their grain.

LumiCan you say crumb? Crumb.

LumiLet's build somewhere warm, right where we can rest before our long day begins.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiA cozy wooden barn, hung with soft lanterns from one wall to the other.

BrikWe are calling it The Lantern-Lit Grain Barn.

LumiInside, wide wooden bins wait empty, ready for tomorrow's very first golden grain.

5:30What Is Inside the Lantern-Lit Grain Barn?

LumiBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

BrikBeam by beam, and lantern by lantern, rising warm against the dark.

LumiCoco ambles up to the new barn door, sniffing the fresh, warm wood.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Lantern-Lit Grain Barn is finished, glowing soft under the wide night sky.

BrikFrom here, every sack of grain will stay warm, safe, and perfectly dry.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every warm lantern glowing inside the brand new grain barn.

BrikHow many warm lanterns are glowing inside the barn tonight?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiThree warm lanterns, glowing softly. One, two, three.

BrikThree little lights, and every single one watches over the sleeping field.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small lantern, glowing softly right above the tall barn door.

LumiWe are calling it The First Barn Lantern.

BrikIts warm little glow lights up the nearest row of empty grain bins.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe First Barn Lantern is ready, and three more will soon glow beside it.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

BrikBrik counted every bright star twinkling straight above the wide wheat field.

LumiHow many bright stars are twinkling over the wheat field tonight?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

LumiFive bright stars, shining softly. One, two, three, four, five.

BrikFive little stars, watching gently over the whole sleepy wheat field below.

BrikCan you say grain? Grain. A tiny golden seed, hiding safe inside a wheat head.

LumiEvery single stalk out there is holding dozens of tiny grains, fast asleep.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tall, round silo, built from smooth boards right beside the barn.

BrikWe are calling it The Night-Watch Grain Silo.

LumiClimb up, and the whole dark wheat field spreads out quiet beneath you.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

9:20Why Is the Sky Turning Gold Over the Wheat Field?

BrikThe Night-Watch Grain Silo stands tall, and Lumi waves gently from the top.

LumiOh, Giggles, moonlight cannot be milked into any bucket, not even the shiniest one.

BrikHe laughs at his own mistake and happily pours his empty bucket out anyway.

LumiThe barnyard settles back into its calm, quiet dark.

BrikWhat a curious, patient start to our very long day.

LumiIf you like what we built, show us a thumbs up!

BrikCan you say curious? Curious.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small bridge, leading toward the edge where the sun will soon rise.

LumiWe are calling it The Dawn-Field Bridge.

BrikIts planks glow pale gold already, leading straight toward the morning light.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Dawn-Field Bridge is ready, and Coco is already standing at the far end.

BrikLook, past the silo, the deep dark sky is starting to change.

LumiIt is turning from deep black to a soft, gentle shade of grey.

BrikThe stars are fading, one by one, like little candles going out slowly.

LumiWatch closely, the edge of the sky is starting to glow soft and warm.

BrikA thin golden line is growing wider, along the far edge of the field.

LumiOne by one, the tall wheat stalks begin to stir, ready for a new day.

11:40What Is the Golden Wheat-Threshing Barn?

BrikLook, the sun is climbing higher and the whole world is turning golden.

LumiThe whole wheat field is waking up in gold, right before our eyes.

BrikGood morning, sleepy field! The sun is finally, wonderfully, all the way up.

LumiThe last cool shadow fades, and the whole field glows bright golden brown.

BrikCan you say golden? Golden.

LumiNow, in the light of this brand new day, let's solve our whole bread mystery.

BrikHow does a tall stalk of wheat turn into the bread we eat for supper?

LumiLet's pick one stalk and see what is hiding inside its feathery head.

BrikBrik gently rubs one wheat head between his palms.

LumiTiny golden grains tumble out, small and hard, right into his open hands.

BrikA horse! Can you say horse? Horse.

LumiHer name is Tom, and she pulls a small cart piled high with fresh-cut wheat.

BrikTom's cart creaks softly, loaded with the very first golden stalks of the day.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne round flower bed, opening its petals in the very first warm light.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Poppy Flower Bed.

LumiBright red poppies grow right alongside the wheat, dotting the gold with color.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Morning Poppy Flower Bed is ready, glowing warm beside the golden field.

LumiCan you say stalk? Stalk. The tall, thin stem that holds up a wheat head.

BrikThe morning breeze carries the warm, dusty smell of ripe wheat across the field.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikBrik counted every tiny golden grain tumbling out of one wheat head.

LumiHow many tiny grains fell out of that one wheat head?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiSix tiny grains, counted carefully. One, two, three, four, five, six.

BrikSix golden grains, and one whole field is holding thousands more, just like them.

BrikLet's build somewhere big, right where the whole field can see our giant answer.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiA wide, blocky barn, with a great turning wheel built right into one wall.

BrikWe are calling it The Golden Wheat-Threshing Barn.

LumiInside, cut wheat stalks tumble and shake until every grain falls loose and free.

LumiSee how nicely it fits, one block sitting neatly on another.

15:50How Does a Windmill Turn Wheat Into Flour?

BrikBeam by beam, and wheel by wheel, rising steady with the morning sun.

LumiCan you say thresh? Thresh. It means shaking grain loose from its dry stalk.

BrikTom trots her loaded cart right up to the great barn's open door.

LumiTom noses closer, watching the golden grain pour down into a waiting sack.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Golden Wheat-Threshing Barn is finished, and Tom rests proudly beside it.

BrikCan you say chaff? Chaff. The light, papery husk wrapped around each little grain.

LumiA gentle breeze blows right through the barn, carrying the light chaff away.

BrikThe heavy golden grain falls straight down, while the papery chaff floats off.

LumiCan you say winnow? Winnow. Using wind to separate light chaff from heavy grain.

BrikThat is the whole secret: wind and shaking sort the good grain from the rest.

LumiBrik claps his hands, delighted at how simply wind can sort the whole harvest.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiLook past the barn — our giant windmill has been grinding grain all morning.

BrikBrik counted every full sack of flour lined up beside the windmill.

LumiHow many full sacks of flour are lined up by the windmill?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikFive full sacks, lined up neatly. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive sacks of flour, and every single one began as golden grain this morning.

BrikCan you say mill? Mill. A building whose heavy stones grind grain into soft flour.

LumiOur windmill's great sails spin around, turning heavy stones inside, grinding grain fine.

BrikRound and round, the stones crush every hard little grain into soft, powdery flour.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikFour little steps, each one painted with one more grain than the last.

LumiWe are calling it The Four Grain-Counting Steps.

BrikStep up slowly, counting each grain, all the way to the top step.

LumiWe are not in a hurry, because things made carefully last the longest.

LumiOne grain, two grains, three grains, then four, painted brighter with every step.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Four Grain-Counting Steps are finished, and Tom noses every single one.

LumiA rabbit! Can you say rabbit? Rabbit.

BrikHer name is George, and she nibbles fresh clover at the edge of the field.

LumiGeorge does not eat wheat grain, but she loves the soft clover growing nearby.

LumiOh, Giggles, raw wheat needs grinding and baking before anyone can eat it.

BrikHe grins, brushes off the chaff, and happily waits for real bread instead.

LumiThe field settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small feeder, filled with golden seeds, right beside the threshing barn.

BrikWe are calling it The Harvest Seed Feeder.

LumiPeck, peck, peck — every little bird loves fresh seed after the harvest.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Harvest Seed Feeder is ready, and small birds gather round it happily.

LumiCan you say ripe? Ripe. It means fully grown and ready to pick or gather.

BrikOnly ripe, golden wheat gets cut; green wheat stays growing a little longer.

LumiCan you say sheaf? Sheaf. A bundle of cut wheat stalks tied neatly together.

BrikThe morning grass is still a little damp, cool and soft beneath their feet.

LumiSomewhere close by, a bee hums low and busy among the fresh red poppies.

BrikNot one wheat head in the whole field holds quite the same number of grains.

LumiGeorge's nose twitches twice, then she settles down to watch the barn glow gold.

BrikThe whole field smells warm and dusty, like bread already baking somewhere close.

LumiBrik taps the wooden bin gently, and golden grain rustles softly inside it.

LumiThe sun is climbing high above the field now, warm on every golden stalk.

BrikThe sun is high above us, it is exactly noon, time for a little rest.

LumiLet us sit down for a moment and listen to how beautifully quiet it is around us.

BrikLet's rest a moment here in the warm midday sun, listening to the field hum softly.

LumiLet's follow the warm midday sun, over to where a village oven is waiting.

LumiPast the barn, the ground opens into a small, sunny village square.

23:20What Is the Great Village Bread Oven?

BrikLeave a thumbs up if you are enjoying building with us, it helps other children find us.

LumiLook, warm flour dust drifts gently from the tall windmill's turning stones.

BrikThis is the very best time to see flour turn into real, warm bread.

LumiCan you say dough? Dough. Soft, sticky flour mixed with water, ready to bake.

BrikA duck! Can you say duck? Duck.

LumiHer name is Bubu, and she waddles closer to a small trough near the square.

BrikBubu quacks happily, curious about the warm, yeasty smell drifting from the oven.

LumiLet's build somewhere grand, right where the whole village can smell fresh bread.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA giant, blocky building, with one round oven door glowing warm inside.

LumiWe are calling it The Great Village Bread Oven.

BrikInside, soft dough waits on a warm shelf, slowly rising bigger and bigger.

BrikA little more and it will be ready, do you like it so far?

LumiBlock by block, and brick by brick, rising warm with the midday sun.

BrikCan you say yeast? Yeast. A tiny helper that fills soft dough with air bubbles.

LumiBubu waddles right up to the oven, watching the dough rise through its window.

BrikTiny bubbles of air puff the dough up bigger, just like a balloon filling with air.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Great Village Bread Oven is finished, warm and glowing in the midday sun.

BrikCan you say bake? Bake. To cook something slowly with the oven's steady heat.

LumiThe oven's heat turns soft, puffy dough into firm bread with a golden crust.

BrikListen closely: the crust crackles softly as it cools on the warm oven shelf.

LumiThat whole warm, toasty smell means our very first loaf is nearly ready.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every tiny air bubble puffing up through the rising dough.

BrikHow many air bubbles are puffing up through the dough?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikEight tiny bubbles, puffing up gently. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

LumiEight little bubbles, and every single one helps the dough grow soft and light.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small signpost, pointing one way to the mill, one way to the oven.

LumiWe are calling it The Mill-Or-Oven Signpost.

BrikOne arrow points back to the windmill, the other points here to the oven.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Mill-Or-Oven Signpost is ready, and Lumi reads it out loud, delighted.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne spinning pinwheel, right beside the oven, catching every warm midday breeze.

BrikWe are calling it The Wheat-Field Breeze Pinwheel.

LumiA cool breeze keeps the whole square comfortable, even beside the hot oven.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Wheat-Field Breeze Pinwheel spins gently, and Bubu watches it turn round.

BrikLook, way out past the field, a few dark clouds are gathering, far away.

LumiQuick, let's build one small shed, right where our next dough can rest safely.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tiny shed, just warm enough for a fresh batch of dough to rise.

BrikWe are calling it The Little Dough-Rising Shed.

LumiIts little window lets us watch the dough puff up, slow and steady.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

29:40Why Is Thunder Rumbling Over the Wheat Field?

BrikThe Little Dough-Rising Shed is ready, tucked snug beside the great oven.

BrikThe clouds are drifting closer, and the sky far out is turning grey.

LumiEven a farmer smiles at clouds like these, because ripe wheat still loves rain.

LumiListen, a low rumble rolls over the field, far away and deep.

BrikLook, a bright zigzag flashes on the horizon, quick and silver.

LumiLet's count together: light travels faster than sound, so we hear thunder after.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikCount with Brik: one, two, three, four, and then comes the low, rolling boom.

LumiHow many seconds passed between the flash and the thunder?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikFour whole seconds, counted steady. One, two, three, four.

LumiFour seconds means that far-off storm is still safely, quietly distant.

LumiDo not worry, Giggles, that rumble is only the sound of a far-off flash.

BrikWe are right here together, safe and warm, and it is already rolling away.

LumiGiggles peeks out slowly, and Coco stands calm and steady close beside him.

BrikThe farmer waves happily from the field, glad for rain on his thirsty wheat.

LumiA warm rain patters gently over the golden field, soft and welcome.

BrikNot one single stalk minds getting wet; thirsty wheat loves a good, gentle rain.

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every warm loaf cooling on the oven's long wooden shelf.

BrikHow many warm loaves are cooling on the oven shelf?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiSeven warm loaves, cooling gently. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

BrikSeven golden loaves, and every crust crackles softly as it cools in the breeze.

BrikListen, the far-off rumble is fading, softer and slower, one by one.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing fast, bright and freshly washed above the field.

BrikGiggles leaps for joy, splashing through the very last few warm raindrops.

LumiBubu paddles a happy circle through the puddle right beside the oven.

BrikCan you say knead? Knead. To press and fold soft dough over and over with care.

LumiA single dragonfly skims low across the square, quick and shimmering blue-green.

BrikThe warm bread smell drifts all the way to the edge of the wheat field.

LumiNot one loaf in the whole oven ever bakes in quite the same shape.

BrikSomewhere close by, the windmill's sails creak once, steady and slow.

LumiBubu's feathers stay dry, even resting close beside the warm, steamy oven.

BrikThe square feels warm, golden, and wonderfully busy with today's whole harvest.

BrikEvery cow, horse, and rabbit nearby settles calm again in the warm sun.

LumiThe sun is starting to lean low now, painting the whole field gold.

BrikLet's follow the low, golden sun back toward the barn and the wide field.

LumiBack near the barn, the whole sky is turning a deep, glowing orange and pink.

BrikLook, the sunset sky glows the same warm gold as our first fresh loaf.

LumiCan you say sunset? Sunset. That is when the sun goes down low in the sky.

BrikCan you say dusk? Dusk. That is the soft, quiet time just before full dark.

BrikAs the great sun sinks low, the whole village gathers for a harvest supper.

LumiLet's watch the sky turn deeper.

BrikIts glow fades slow and gentle.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small pyramid, stacked from tiny warm loaves in a golden little tower.

BrikWe are calling it The Harvest-Loaf Pyramid.

BrikEvery little loaf sits snug, stacked five rows high beside the oven.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Harvest-Loaf Pyramid is ready, and it smells warm and wonderful.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

BrikBrik counted every golden sheaf of wheat stacked across the harvested field.

LumiHow many golden sheaves are stacked across the field tonight?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

LumiNine golden sheaves, stacked neatly. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

BrikNine tall sheaves, and every single one came from our very own field.

LumiOh, Giggles, one loaf balanced on a nose is safer than a whole wobbly stack.

BrikHe grins proudly, parading his one balanced loaf while everyone claps happily.

LumiThe village settles back into its warm, glowing calm.

BrikGive us a thumbs up if you want to see the next episode!

LumiCan you say share? Share. Giving some of what you have to a friend.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small wooden bench, facing straight toward the whole glowing oven.

BrikWe are calling it The Bread-Sharing Bench.

LumiSit here quietly, and share warm bread while the sky darkens above.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

38:20How Is Warm Bread Shared at Supper?

BrikThe Bread-Sharing Bench is ready, and Lumi is already curled up, waiting.

LumiBrik pats the little bench gently, proud of the whole long, golden day.

BrikCan you say proud? Proud. We built and learned so much today.

BrikHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiTwo warm loaves came out at midday, then three more came out by supper.

BrikHow many warm loaves did we bake altogether today?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikTwo and three makes five. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiCan you say altogether? Altogether.

BrikFive whole loaves, and every single one began as one tiny golden grain.

LumiLet's build one last place, right where the whole village can share our bread.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, welcoming camp, ringed with lanterns from one side to the other.

LumiWe are calling it The Harvest Supper Campfire.

BrikOne by one, its lanterns glow, each one warmer than the last.

BrikBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

LumiPost by post, and lantern by lantern, filling up with today's last golden light.

BrikThe campfire glows the same warm orange as the whole sunset sky above it.

LumiCoco settles close to the warm fire, chewing slowly beside her friends.

BrikEvery friend gathers close, sharing warm bread fresh from today's own harvest.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Harvest Supper Campfire is finished, glowing warm under the very first stars.

BrikLook, it is dark again now, just like at the start of our day.

LumiBut this time, we know exactly how one field of wheat becomes warm bread.

BrikRipe golden grain, threshed and winnowed, ground fine by our own windmill.

LumiSoft dough, puffed up with yeast, and baked warm in a steady oven.

BrikListen to the field grow quiet.

LumiCan you say cozy? Cozy.

BrikCozy just means warm, soft, and safe, exactly like our supper tonight.

LumiNot one single loaf tonight was ever baked without its whole field of grain.

BrikCan you say grateful? Grateful. It means feeling thankful for something good.

LumiThe whole village feels grateful for one warm field and one good harvest.

BrikCan you say harvest supper? Harvest supper. A warm meal shared after a good day.

LumiA single star returns to the same corner of the sky, night after night.

BrikNot one lantern around the whole camp glows in quite the same gold.

42:40How Is Bread Made From Wheat? The Whole Answer

LumiTom's tail swishes softly in the very last warm light before dark settles.

BrikThe whole barn smells of warm straw and cool, settling harvest air.

LumiA single lantern still glows in the same barn window, steady every night.

LumiSomewhere close by, a cricket starts up its gentle, steady song once more.

BrikTom's ears twitch softly at the very last warm light before dark settles.

LumiThe whole square smells of warm bread and cool, settling harvest air.

LumiPress Subscribe together with your parents, and Brik and Lumi will be here waiting for you tomorrow.

BrikIf you had a good time with us, press Subscribe so you do not lose our cartoon.

LumiThe stars are twinkling again, and our long, beautiful day is slowly coming to an end.

BrikWe built so much today, and we learned even more.

LumiThank you for being with us, it was much nicer together.

BrikSo remember, golden grain, patient milling, rising dough, and warm bread shared together.

LumiThe oven glows soft and warm one last time, calm under the bright stars.

LumiGiggles waves from far away before he disappears for the night, and the little bells on his cap ring softly.

BrikBye bye! Sleep sweetly, our dear friends.
