Grinding Your Own Flour: a Review of the Mockmill 100 and Nutrimill Classic

- In the past couple years, I've begun and really gotten into grinding my own flour. There are so many health benefits to grinding your own grains. There are so many more nutrients in fresh milled wheat! If you wish to remove large chunks from your milled grain, use a regular pasta colander. To recreate store bought unbleached flour, use a 40 mesh flour sifter. Links below #wheatmill #freshgrains #mockmill #nutrimill #bakingtherapy

Thanks for the information and demonstration! I am an early riser and love to tackle big projects quietly in the early morning. I appreciate knowing I am not alone . Blessings overflowing.
Absolutely :-) Thank you!
I enjoyed this! I haven't invested in either a mill or whole grains yet, but I intend to someday. Thanks for the info and demonstrations!
You're welcome! I really do love grinding my own grains, it's pretty cool!
I loved this video! Thank you for showing a double grind too.
You're welcome! :-)
This is so interesting. Another pro for the Mockmill 100 is that since it has the spout, you could grind it directly into a tub (i'm used to keeping my flour/sugar/etc in a tub w/ an airtight lid)
Yes ma'am, agreed :-)
With the Nutrimill you have to estimate how much grain you need to get a certain amount of flour. With the Mockmill, you can place a large measuring cup under the spout and grind more specifically the amount you need. Also, the reservoir of the Nutrimill is not machine washable, whereas I can just put my measuring cup in the dishwasher.
Very true! I have a conversion chart that I use as well. I will get that up on my website this week.
Or you use a scale and weight the amount of flour you need, no guessing involved.
Very good tip!
Great presentation. I ended up getting the wondermill. I am happy with it so far. Was going to get the mockmill 200 and where I purchased thru recommended the wondermill instead. They said for grits to use popcorn in my blender. Have not done that yet. Sifting the flour is a good trick. The baked goods I have made are delicious 😊❤🥰 So much better than store bought flour! Thank you for sharing 😊
Totally agree on home milled tasting better :-) Isn't it a lot of fun? I love it! I haven't tried using popcorn, please let me know what you think when you do.
@@kayslittlekitchen Thanks, I will.😊
I have a Whispermill, older, but very similar to the Wondermill. Had it for about 25 yrs. now. I can mill my flour so fine, there is no need to sift anything. And I would not want to, because I want the whole kernel in my flour.
So true! I only sift out the husk that may have made it into the grain bag. I use a spaghetti strainer so that all the good stuff remains 😁
Just found your channel... I have both mills. I use the nutrimill for my corn. I don't have to grind twice. I noticed you didn't do corn in yours. Is there a reason for that? Subscribed...🥰
Howdy, Ms Sue! I do grind corn in my Mockmill, I prefer using that one. The Nutrimill Classic hurts my ears a little bit and I tend to use that when I need to grind a large quantity of grain quickly. The double grind is just a personal preference :-) Don't you just love milling your grain? I really do!
@@kayslittlekitchen It is definitely a jet engine that's crashing when I grind corn, but it is fast...😂
Totally agree on the fast aspect!
This makes me want to get into bread, etc., making.
If I can encourage or help you jump in, let me know :-)
@@kayslittlekitchen Thank you, so much. 😊
Thank you for the video. Are you using popcorn or field corn?
On Azure Standard, it's labeled Organics Whole Yellow Corn. So I'm guessing it's a type of field corn due to the shape. You'd probably have to contact them for specific details about their grain choices. Great question, thanks for asking! www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/grains/corn/whole/yellow/whole-yellow-corn-organic/7438?package=GR026&a_aid=bcaeb997d0
Thank you, that was informative! I’m interested in Mock mills. Right now I’m using unbleached white bread flour, I wonder if I could mill something similar?
Yes you can totally mill that. I would use hard white wheat berries, ground fine and sifted through a normal pasta colander to remove the large chunks. Sift it through a 40 mesh sieve to recreate store bought unbleached white bread flour. This sieve WILL remove all the bran, though.

I have a Whispermill, older but similar to the Wondermill. My flour is so fine, I don't need to sift anything, not that I would ever do that. I want the whole grain in my flour and baked goods.
@@ingridscott91 I ended up getting the Mockmill 200. I still have some experimenting to do! I have made some good bread but not great bread yet! I think I will end up with a blend of purchased organic white flour and whole wheat from my mill. I find that if I grind the hard red coarsly and then regrind it fine I like the result better.
Same, that's my preferred method with hard red wheat. I have found that mixing 50% of the recipe's wheat with my home milled red wheat gives me great flavor, good texture, and great crumb. The bread turns out pretty dense and heavy if I go above 50%.
@@kayslittlekitchen Thank you!
