I have been making my own bread for several years now. I do it the “easy” way by using a bread machine, but it’s still my own bread where I know exactly what ingredients go into it. Have you ever looked at the list of ingredients on a package of store-bought bread? There are always at least a few things that are in the “I don’t know what that is” category. Now I’m ready to take that homemade goodness one step further by grinding my own flour at home with Mockmill.
Mockmill makes the process of grinding my own flour at home easy using my KitchenAid stand mixer. Why mill your own flour? First of all you know it is purely wheat flour with no bleaching agents or other additives. You also will have the ultimate in freshness, giving you tastier and fresher baked goods. Freshly milled flour has a more full, nutty, sweet and complex taste. You also have the ability to try grinding all types of whole grains and combining them into your favorite combinations. I love heritage grains like Kamut and buckwheat and am ready to try making them into my own flours too! If you eat a gluten-free diet you can make rice flour with the Mockmill.
The Mockmill was created by Wolfgang Mock, who spent over 30 years creating and patenting flour mills. He has now created one that is affordable enough for home use, but still with the performance that both professional and home cooks will expect. It has an adjustable flour grade that varies from fine to coarse, which is helpful if you want different textures and if you are grinding other grains or even legumes.

I have made my own bread many times, but never ground my own flour. I am sure that it is better fresh, like most foods.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
Oh wow! I’ve made my own bread in the past, but I’ve never ground my own flour before. That’s so cool! I want to give this a try.
Liz Mays says
Oh this is really neat. It would definitely be cool to start making bread completely from scratch! Making flour with this sounds easy.
Monica says
No one can compete with your homemade! Making your own flour? So amazing to learn about!
Joyce Brewer (@MommyTalkShow) says
What a wonderful way to eat more whole foods at home. The mixer makes it look so easy.
Austin H. says
Gives a “whole” new meaning to homemade. For something that is so widely used. BREAD. I really had no idea about how to go about making your own flour, until now. Thanks
Theresa says
This is really interesting. I am in the process of eliminating all the crap from my diet and this would be the next step to going as fresh as possible. I bet it makes the bread taste even more amazing when you grind your own flour!
Brandy says
I love how easy this is to use! I would love to grind my own flour and make homemade bread.
Kelly Hutchinson says
What a cool idea! I have never tried to grind my own flour at home. But I think I might have to try it now.
ellen beck says
Thats pretty nifty! I have actually been to flour mills the kind done the old fashioned way by water but I didnt know there was a home machine. I can only imagine how much better it is.
Toni | BoulderLocavore.com says
That is awesome! I would love to mill my own flour too! Love your Mockmill!
shelly peterson says
What a great idea! I have never made my own bread or flour but I bet it makes for some great tasting bread.,
Nikki Wayne says
I can’t believe that I can grind my own flour at home. This is really nice.
Lindsey Paris says
That is so cool!! And I LOVE that it goes right on your mixer… that is BRILLIANT.
Julie Wood says
This is so cool. What a great way to have healthy flour made at home and make my own homemade bread again. I miss the taste of fresh homemade bread!
Chrystal | Nevermore Lane says
This is awesome! I have made my own almond flour and coconut flour. It would be cool to grind my own flour for other types of breads for others.
Rosey says
That’s definitely a good deal. I’d try making my own flour. I think it sounds like a good way to mix things up (hahahaa). literally and figuratively. 😉
Rach Ferrucci says
I never knew this was possible. That’s so cool and I would love to try that!
Dawn McAlexander says
That would be fun to try, a time or two anyway. I have often wondered how flour was made. Guess I could find out for myself now.
Ann Bacciaglia says
This would be a fantastic gift for my Dad. He loves to bake and has talked about wanting to make his own flour.
Lisa Joy Thompson says
I’ve been wanting to grind my own flour for years and now that I’m doing it, I can’t believe I waited! My homemade bread tastes even better with freshly milled flour!
Crystal says
What a great kitchen appliance. I have a KitchenAid but don’t use it to its full potential. I would love to make my own bread using flour I milled.
Kita Bryant says
I have always wanted to try and make my own flour. Especially when I had to be eating gluten free. It would have come in handy!
kristin says
Had no idea it was this easy to do at home. Thanks for sharing, I got to try this myself!
Christina Aliperti says
I never knew it would be so easy to grind flour. I need to try this and make some bread really soon.
Nicole Escat says
Wow, very brilliant innovation. I wish I can own one for my baking stuff.
Karlaroundtheworld | Karla says
I’ve heard of this and it certainly looks like a great alternative to buying flour! The price might look steep even with the discounted price but the more I think of its long-term value, the better it sounds.
Dandi D says
Wow, I didn’t know they made something like this that it compatible with kitchen aid!
