Make your own flour!

Posted in General by Lea on the May 19th, 2007

Making your own flour is easy, and enjoyable. Best of all, fresh flour is packed with nutritional value.

I like to soak, sprout, then dehydrate mine. Soaking breaks down phylic acid, sprouting maximizes nutritional content, and dehydrating makes them dry so them can be ground into flour.

Here’s what I do:

Soak: Place 1 cup wheat berries in a quart-sized mason jar. Fill to the top with water and cover. Let soak overnight.

Sprout: In the morning, drain water, and lay jar on its side. Rinse 2-3 times a day (or more if you want). Within 2-3 days you should see sprouts 1/4″ long. You can sprinkle these right on a salad!

Dehydrate: For dehydrating, pour seeds into the liner of your food dehydrator, and place on the lowest setting overnight (or 8-10 hours). Now they are ready to be ground!

Grinding: Place desired amount of wheat berries in blender and blend on the highest setting for at least 3 minutes. If you have a grain mill, use it! It will produce finer flour.

Enjoy!

As pizza!
