It's great that people can grind their flour with high-speed blenders! I have been doing so with my old (23-year-old) Blendtec (which was called Ktec when I got it) for the past couple of years. I have found I get the finest flour the quickest by never putting more than 2 cups of wheatberries in at a time, and I turn it on the highest speed right away and leave it on about 50-60 seconds. The container must always be VERY dry before milling, and this is one of the main reasons I am biting the bullet and buying a dedicated grain mill (in my case the Wondermill) -- because I like to be able to get my blender wet anytime I want, but now I always have to consider whether and when I need it to have dried out totally before I mill. (This would not be true with the Vitamix -- or so I hear -- as Vitamix makes a separate container just for dry milling. Why they do that I do not know, but if I had a Vitamix like that I probably would end up putting off getting the grain mill even longer, haha. Oh, and one thing also to consider: if you want a grain mill that will make very fine AND very coarse flours you will most likely have to pay a lot more money. However, I have found that making coarse cornmill, for instance, is a breeze in the blender. I turn it is a bit slower speed and stop it more often until I can eyeball it for the courseness I want. More and more people are finding out that they CAN eat bread when it is freshly milled and whole grain (and unsifted). It's a truly healing thing!
Awesome that you have been using your Blendtec for so long. Agreed if you are going to be grinding your own wheat a lot it is worth it to get a dedicated grain mill like the Wondermill. Yes I have heard that as well about people who were/are gluten intolerant but when they use their own wheat and maker their own bread they are not. Pretty cool.
Yes, I have heard that too -- and that MOST gluten-intolerant people are fine with freshly-milled whole grain wheat flour! Wheat, for 99% of people, is a good thing -- when it used in its fullness rather than refined, which removes all the best of the wheat. Sue Becker and others really opened my eyes to the healing qualities of whole grain -- after I had already been doing this for a while. Now I'm going all-in and going to make whole grain the main staple in my diet. For one thing, it gets rid of psoriasis, which has been hounding me for many years.@@inthekitchenwithmatt
I have a Ninja blender, and whenever I do this. The flour ends up gritty, even after I sift it, and MAN, those gritty parts are hard. Could this be solved by either pre-soaking the wheat berries overnight or simply letting the blender go for a long time?
I would try blending it a bit longer. Sift, then blend again. If you still can't get it as fine as you want, you may just opt for an actual grain mill if you are going to be grinding wheat berries a lot.
But Matt, I have heard that grinding wheatberries in my Vita mix, will make it get too hot, and it destroys enzymes in the wheat. What do you know and think about that? Do you think that is true?
Nah you won't have to grind it long. It doesn't get hot. The vitamix has to be on for a few minutes before it starts heating up. This doesn't take very long at all.
Yup you sure can use the same method to make almond flour. You just need to be careful not to blend it too long because then it will turn the almond flour into almond butter, haha. At some point, I will post a video for that as well.
where I am from we make finest flour by using a mortar and taking turns grinding and sifting it for hours. even with the blender you ll have to sift it to get the finest flour. for making pasta for example. if it's not fine enough with won't develop enough to stretch without breaking. imo
Yes this is just how to make it with a blender. This isn't necessarily the best way to make it. As I mentioned in the video if you are making a flour a lot a food mill is the best thing to use.
This is IT! After I made super easy recipe super fast yummy pancake which my mom loves with heat gun I'm gonna make flour from scratch without a miller!!!! And I won't make f**king time consuming bread ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!
FM: Just a minute is slower than having to go to the store to buy flour? And, what if there's another shortage on flour and the stores have none, or are limiting the flour, what are you gonna do then? lol.
You should be evaluated for sleep apnea 😂 you’re gasping for air in between word and there is surgery that will extend your life and quality of life. I’m looking at your neck circumference also lol sorry . I work I’m healthcare
This is exactly what I was looking for because I was DETERMINED to make my own flour in my high speed blender!😂 Thank you!
Glad you liked it and that it was helpful. Welcome!
A video worth it's weigh in gold to any new, or even established cook. Practical and so easy to do; thanks Matt! :)
Thank you so much, Lauren!! You are very welcome! :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Sorry, got a bit tangled up with a vacuum cleaner, lol. Thanks. :)

Which vitamix blender is it you are using

Ini yang kucari-cari buat tepung dari biji gandum, terimakasih
You are welcome! Glad the video was helpful. :)
Are you in Malaysia? What grain did you use and where did you buy it?
That was a super fast video & recipe!
Yup!
Oh no! Another expensive gadget I need! I’m only a month in to my baking adventures. Love your videos!
hahaha awesome! And thank you!!
How long could you store this for? Love how this is so simple.
Several months, however it will go bad quicker than storebought flour.
@@downanddirty3969 I looked it up. The wheat berries can last 8-12 years. In perfect condition 30 years. Why the hell are we buying flour lol
I have a Ninja blender, and whenever I do this. The flour ends up gritty, even after I sift it, and MAN, those gritty parts are hard.
Could this be solved by either pre-soaking the wheat berries overnight or simply letting the blender go for a long time?
I would try blending it a bit longer. Sift, then blend again. If you still can't get it as fine as you want, you may just opt for an actual grain mill if you are going to be grinding wheat berries a lot.
After blending, for a more finer powder, would using a coffee grinder help?
Yup you could try that!
But Matt, I have heard that grinding wheatberries in my Vita mix, will make it get too hot, and it destroys enzymes in the wheat. What do you know and think about that? Do you think that is true?
Nah you won't have to grind it long. It doesn't get hot. The vitamix has to be on for a few minutes before it starts heating up. This doesn't take very long at all.
I am always making something in the kitchen. Can you do the same thing for almond flour? I would like to learn that
Yup you sure can use the same method to make almond flour. You just need to be careful not to blend it too long because then it will turn the almond flour into almond butter, haha. At some point, I will post a video for that as well.
At 30 to 40 seconds would it be considered bread flour or all purpose flour?
It is still normal all purpose whole wheat flour, do make it bread flour you need to add a few tablespoons of vital wheat gluten.
Where can I get wheat berries to do this?
I get mine on Amazon.
where I am from we make finest flour by using a mortar and taking turns grinding and sifting it for hours. even with the blender you ll have to sift it to get the finest flour. for making pasta for example. if it's not fine enough with won't develop enough to stretch without breaking. imo

Nice!
What is the brand of this blender?
It's a Vitamix
How long can we keep the flour?
2 to 3 months
Beautiful, thanks 😊🌈
You are welcome!!
Would that instant beand ace blender work for this ?
I don't know I have never used that blender.
Hello.
We are tvN, a Korean broadcasting company.
Can I use part of the video.
I will write the source of the video.
Hi. No sorry, I prefer that you do not.
Thank you Good Sir
You are very welcome!
That is wild
Pretty cool right?
Never mind i heard it thank you
Great!
😅Matt you're sweet person..... This method takes more time۔۔۔۔
Takes more time than what? lol it takes less than a minute.
FM: Just a minute is slower than having to go to the store to buy flour? And, what if there's another shortage on flour and the stores have none, or are limiting the flour, what are you gonna do then? lol.
Hello
Hello!
❤
Thanks!!
Coffee Grinder.
Yes you can use a coffee grinder, especially if you just need a small amount.
You should be evaluated for sleep apnea 😂 you’re gasping for air in between word and there is surgery that will extend your life and quality of life. I’m looking at your neck circumference also lol sorry . I work I’m healthcare
lol um no. I sleep a solid 8 hours a day, no snoring, etc. I will stick to my actual doctor thank you very much.
