There is no evidence to suggest that middle age bakers used sawdust as flour. Flour in the Middle Ages was typically made from ground grains such as wheat, barley, or rye. Although some bakers may have used additives or fillers to stretch the flour supply, sawdust is not a historically documented ingredient in traditional baking practices.

Why does sawdust explode?
Sawdust Explosions: Sawdust normally does not explode. The conditions have to be just right, the sawdust dust cloud has to have just enough space between particles to have abundant oxygen, and yet the particles must be close enough to ignite nearby particles. The explosion is due to the large surface area that is exposed to oxygen, burning wood is typically limited by the amount of oxygen that can get to the surface of the wood, this is why blacksmiths used to pump air into forges for more heat. It can also catch fire if it is a large pile, like at a sawmill, especially since sawdust at a mill will have traces of oil used as a lubricant for the machinery used to process the wood. As the wood decomposes, it can create heat. The weight of the sawdust in the pile creates pressure. If the heat and pressure become great enough, the sawdust can spontaneously combust, creating a fire. Once the sawdust pile gets large at sawmills, some owners spread the sawdust out in order to prevent that from happening.
