"Steel-milled", I believe.
For previous discussion of what the differences are between the stone 
ground and the modern flours, much by Bear, check out this Florilegium

Oh! A windmill! I was expecting a water driven mill. Traveling 
throughout the U.S. I've seen quite a number of waterwheels but never a 
windmill driven mill. Where was this?

Various books give the origin of the windmill as between the 8th and 
12th C., at least several centuries later than when the waterwheel came 
into use.
