How to Grind Mill Wheat With KitchenAid Appliances

Mill wheat into flour with a KitchenAid stand mixer and mill attachment.

Never buy flour from a store again by learning how to use your KitchenAid mixer to grind your own wheat. Any of the KitchenAid brand mixers will fit the specialty grinding attachment sold by the company, allowing you to grind wheat to the texture desired for your flour: fine to coarse. Your fresh flour will add a new dimension to your recipes without the bleaching or additives found in some store brands of wheat flour.

Things You'll Need

• KitchenAid stand mixer
• KitchenAid grain mill attachment
• 1 cup wheat berries
• Mixer bowl

Instructions

1. Flip the cover over the hole on the front of your mixer into the up position, or turn the knob next to the attachment hole counterclockwise to loosen it.

2. Insert the shaft of the grain mill attachment into the hole.

3. Plug in the stand mixer.

4. Turn the dial on the front of the grain mill attachment to point toward the desired size of grain: fine indicated by the picture of smaller circles or coarser shown with larger circles.

5. Fill the top of the mill with the wheat berries and place the stand mixer bowl under the grain mill.

6. Turn the mixer onto speed 10 to grind 1 cup wheat berries in the hopper into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of flour which will fall into the bowl.

7. Shut off the mixer and allow the parts to cool before removing the grain mill attachment to rinse before storing.
