Homemade All-Purpose Flour?!

[@shakfig2655]

I purchased the vevor sifter What a game changer 👌 highly recommend! Thank you for the video otherwise I would have not known such a great product was available at minimal cost.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Yay, so glad you like it!

Thanks for this video. I’ve been milling my own flour with my Mockmill 100 for several years now and I love it. I mill the flour immediately before I use it and freeze any that’s left. Typically I use the left over flour for feeding my sourdough starter, flouring the counter, or for dredging meats. I only purchase organic wheat berries and organic fours. I’ve been researching ancient grains and all of them require special treatment. They behave completely differently from modern wheat. Kamut has a high level of protein, but less gluten than modern wheat so it works better combined with other wheats that do have more gluten. I routinely use Hard White Spring Wheat berries with my sourdough breads and have great results using about 80% whole wheat and then sift the remaining wheat flour using my #50 sifting pan. The pan is meant to go into the sifter you have, but can be purchased separately. Previously, I found that it fits perfectly into the stainless steel insert for my 8 qt. Instant Pot and I could sift well by jiggling the set up from side to side. Then I saw a video on KZbin where a man used a very inexpensive, light weight massage “gun” to sift flour quickly. I purchased a similar one for about $25 on Amazon and use the tennis ball size attachment in the “gun.” By simply holding the cordless massager against the sifter, it quickly sifts the flour with almost no mess. With the volume of baking I do, I couldn’t justify the substantial price of that automatic sifter. For an “all purpose” type flour, you’d want to remove between 30 to 10% of the bran.

I’ve had a Mockmill 100 for 6 years. I’ve never had a single issue with it. It grinds finely, quickly and I use it almost daily. I am so glad I bought it.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@sandysteinbrook]

I’m interested to see what you do with the bran. I don’t know what to do with it if I sift it out.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

I just posted a video where I use it to make a bran based cereal. That recipe needs some tweaking, but I still think that cereal will be how I use it mostly.

[@MelissaOudshoorn-k2e]

I have a Mockmill attachment for my kitchen aid. Been using it for the last 5 years and absolutely love it. You get the stone mill for less money and less space.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Good to know!

Very interesting video. Love that baby carrier and the baby is so sweet! Val C ❤️🙏🏻

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you! 🤗

[@AuntNikisFarm]

I have been making your bread recipe with half AP and half hard red wheat without sifting and it has been working good. I never knew that you could purchase a sifter! This was a great video and I learned a bunch!

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Oh I’m so glad to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Stacy, little Luke is so precious. Very interesting video. I enjoyed learning about wheat berries. Ty.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@audreymaldonado5655]

Very aptly timed video. I just made sourdough and pizza with my fresh milled flour, but it’s very dense and grainy. I think I’ll mix my hard white & soft white milled flour to make an in between flour.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Awesome, I'm so glad you found the video helpful!

[@candylyman6429]

I got my mock mill 100 with the wood grain through mock mill at a discount. It was a return that someone tried and did not want they went through it checked it out and it was like new. I had the nutramill one that stacked. I did not like the noise like a plane taking off using 1200 watts and all the intricate cleaning each time you use it. The mock mill 100 uses 400watts 1/3 the power( we are off grid), so much quieter and the flour goes just in the bowl with nothing to clean. I do feel the nutramill does get the flour finer.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you so much for your input! I wonder if their more expensive models get the flour finer?

[@AuntNikisFarm]

I do love my Mockmill. I hope that you’re able to get one soon!!! ♥️

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Good to hear! 👏

[@joannarakoski9620]

I am constantly surprised with how much I get out of your content! I love that you take the time to educate and go “deep enough” where your videos aren’t fluff but also not overwhelming. Thank you for this. What type of loaf pans are those :)? I have been using just “regular” loaf pans but would prefer this shape for sandwich bread.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos! I agree that it's a fine line between educating enough and not going to deep into things. The pans are large USA pullman pans. I absolutely love them! They are also nonstick (without chemicals). Here is a link: amzn.to/3OBMz8C

[@smilingiscontagious5722]

Great video! I’m so glad to see your back and looking well. I had just put on my list of things to learn how to make all purpose flour so I really appreciate your video. Your baby is so precious in your carrier. God bless you and your lovely family! 🤗💗

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you! Awesome that you were interesting in learning to make this as well. It sure is fun to bake with a little buddy now. 🥰

[@sarahdonohue6233]

I know you said you know the mill you want but maybe look into the komo mill. It has a 12 year warranty, is easier to adjust then a mockmill. They are beautiful as well.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Good to know, I've heard of that one. Thank you! I'll look into it!

[@76katster]

I second the Komo. I absolutely love ours- I have the fidibus 21 model and it couldn’t be more easy! I love that it’s made in Austria and solid beechwood. So far the only grain I have ground is Einkorn. Question, could you sift your flour without the machine? I have the same sifting pans as you used.

[@karenchaney9160]

Loved your video. Baby looked so content and you amaze me

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you so much!

[@SweetLife27]

Great tutorial! I have a Mockmill and love it!

[@Mariaaziere]

Kamut is harder to work with because of the gluten structure. Hard white or hard red has a better gluten structure. I usually use a 60/40 mix of hard white and kamut and it is much easier to work with

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Ahomeontheprairies]

We recently got the nutrimill classic and it is quick and doesn"t dump flour. I decided on it over a stone mill bc of the grind speed and price, since I am just getting into fresh milled flour here! Lots to learn with using the flour still.

[@jeannainnc8390]

I am getting the Nutrimill Classic for Christmas. I do bake my own bread but have yet to dive into grinding flour. I think I will go ahead and get the sifter too, since AP flour is my go too.

[@pinkorganichorse]

Do you like the nutrimill?

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

I've heard good things about the Classic. The one I have and don't care for is no longer made, so I think they agreed that it was terrible. 😅

[@latoyagilliam5320]

Great video, You should try sifting a hard wheat and you may get better results.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you! This was a hard spring wheat (kamut), but I agree that I should try some different varieties and see how that goes.

[@brendadodd1075]

I also have this same mill. and it spit out flur at the bottom. but i hate th bother of returns. my dream is the Mockmill 200P., Also for FMF it need more hydration than the store bough flour. The best recipe for FMF i found after 6 years ith the Basic Bread usign Red or White Hard wheat berries from Grits and Grains

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Thank you! ❤️

[@MikePenceFly]

25 minutes for 8 cups??? I have the Mockmill Lino 200. I love it, it doesn't heat up the flour. But I had no idea there were electric sifters???!!!! That is a miracle and I am getting one.

[@TheFromScratchFarmhouse]

Ya, I can’t wait to upgrade. 😅 And yes, the sifter is amazing!

[@bethp8436]

My daughter has the same mill as you do. Some of your problems with your mill is that you do not have your intake valve opened up enough. Opening it more will solve some of the issues that you are having. It should not take 25 minutes to mill 8 cups of berries. Also,if you don’t have everything aligned correctly then you will have problems with flour spewing out onto your counter. I have heard from people that own both a Nutrimill and a Mockmill that the Nutrimill grinds a fiber flour and it’s faster. You do have to take the Mockmills apart to clean the stones. The stones are not made out of granite anymore. They are made out if an abrasive material glued together with adhesives. There is a debate about how healthy that is. Over time ceramic stones do wear down and the abrasive material and the adhesive ends up in your flour. The steel burr heads used in the Mockmill and WonderMill were invented for the pharmaceutical companies to grind medications into a fine powder. Then someone realized that they might do an excellent job in grinding wheat berries and sure enough they do. The steel burrs also do not absorb the oils out of the grains which can attract bugs to your mill. The stainless steel mills burr heads are cleaner and more sanitary and do not attract bugs. You do not have to take a grain mill with burr milking heads apart to clean the inside of your mill like you have to do with a stone mill. This is the first video I have watched of yours so I have no idea where you live but if you live in a high humid and highly vegetation growing area in the USA with lots of different species of bugs, having a grain mill with steel burr heads is your better choice. I have heard that you would have to use your grain mill every day or at least every other day not to get bugs inside your mill. Cleaning out bugs in your grain mill is not a fun job.
