Flour       Grain reduced to the form of meal is spoken of in the time of       Abraham (Gen. 18:6). As baking was a daily necessity, grain was       also ground daily at the mills (Jer. 25:10). The flour mingled       with water was kneaded in kneading-troughs, and sometimes leaven       (Ex. 12:34) was added and sometimes omitted (Gen. 19:3). The       dough was then formed into thin cakes nine or ten inches in       diameter and baked in the oven.                Fine flour was offered by the poor as a sin-offering (Lev.       5:11-13), and also in connection with other sacrifices (Num.       15:3-12; 28:7-29).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fuller       The word "full" is from the Anglo-Saxon fullian, meaning "to       whiten." To full is to press or scour cloth in a mill. This art       is one of great antiquity. Mention is made of "fuller's soap"       (Mal. 3:2), and of "the fuller's field" (2 Kings 18:17). At his       transfiguration our Lord's rainment is said to have been white       "so as no fuller on earth could white them" (Mark 9:3). En-rogel       (q.v.), meaning literally "foot-fountain," has been interpreted       as the "fuller's fountain," because there the fullers trod the       cloth with their feet.
