Equipment

  • Grain mill

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat berries

Instructions

  • Step One: Purchase your choice of whole grain and a grain mill.
  • Step Two: Next, decide how much grain you're going to mill. I typically just mill enough to fill a large bowl, depending on how much I need for my recipe. If I happen to mill a little too much, I store the leftover flour in the freezer in an airtight container.
  • Step Three: Turn on the mill and add the wheat berries. Then, just wait for the mill to grind them into flour.
  • Step Four: Store the freshly ground flour in an airtight container. I store mine at room temperature if I'm going to use it within that day. If I made it in advance, I put the flour in a sealed freezer bag or container and store in the freezer.
