How to Make Wheat Flour From Wheat Berries

In this cooking basics Instructable, learn how to make your own wheat flour at home from wheat berries using a blender. Homemade flour is incredibly easy to make and you don't need a special mill to make it.

Although, if you do plan on grinding your own wheat at home regularly, you may want to pick up specific wheat and or grain-grinding mill.

Home-ground wheat is awesome because it doesn't contain any preservatives or additives and is healthier than normal store-bought flour. Use this flour in all your whole wheat flour baking needs.

So this couldn't be simpler.

Add the wheat berries to your blender and put the lid on. You really want a high-speed blender something like a Vitamix, Blendtec, or Nurtibullet, because cheaper blenders just aren't strong enough to blend the wheat berries up fine enough. With that said, try it first with whatever blender that you have.

Start the blender on low speed and then slowly turn it to high. Let it run for about 30 seconds on high and that is all you need to do.

Pour the flour into an airtight container for storage or use it right away. Simple right?

NOTE: Keep in mind this is whole wheat flour. If you want to make white flour like all-purpose or plain flour, you will need to sift out the germ and bran. Run the milled whole wheat flour through a sieve or sifter a few times to remove those two things. Then you will have plain all-purpose white flour.

Now watch those steps in action with this video tutorial.
