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’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!

Had no idea it was this easy to do at home. Thanks for sharing, I got to try this myself!

I never knew it would be so easy to grind flour. I need to try this and make some bread really soon.

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.

Wow, I didn’t know they made something like this that it compatible with kitchen aid!
