The many benefits of home flour milling include taste and flavor and the appeal of making a healthy food that tastes good and is seriously nutritous.

This comprehensive how-to details the whole process behind home flour milling with features such as: The history of whole grains and grain anatomy Benefits of commercially milled flour vs home milled flour Tools and equipment for home flour milling Baking basics including mixing methods and techniques -- the importance of gluten and moisture Going with the grains -- a thorough description of grains such as barley, rye, kamut and buckwheat Nut flours such as almond Baking with freshly milled grains. There are also 100 recipes for tasty quick breads, rolls and buns, muffins, pancakes, coffee cakes, biscuit and scones, cookies, brownies and pastries, plus others that are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. The Home Ground Flour Book is ideal for anyone who wants to create their own flours. Review: Spring for the Spiral Bound Version - This book is a solid 4.5 stars. Being a vegan family, I've found the recipes easy to adapt and so far we've had great success with everything we've tried. The basic yeast bread has become a staple in our house (my son says it tastes like darker bread you get in the basket at the Cheesecake Factory and he's 100% correct). I have the same issue many others have. The book tells you how to substitute home ground flours for all purpose flour, for instance, and says that if you're using a recipe with weights, you just use the same weight of grain. It's a super handy tip and makes me wish with all of my heart that bakers in the US used weights more. It's so much easier to get a consistently good product. So where are the weights in these recipes? We're left to guess how much grain to grind and I'm still getting it wrong. I've thrown flour away because you're not supposed to store it, but then you don't really get any help with knowing how much whole grain to throw in your grinder to hit the flour amount required for each recipe. I've started freezing my extra flour, a tip I picked up from a YouTuber, and I'll use it as my dusting flour when I'm making future recipes. But still... I feel like the recipes are seriously missing the mark by not including weights. I get that there still may be a range needed for the recipe, so let the range be "100g-120g hard red wheat milled into fine flour, about this many cups" so that you have a starting point. I assume this knowledge comes with experience and may not be an issue in the future. But like I said, the recipes are amazing so far and I've enjoyed working with the home milled flour. The first section of the book (123 pages out of about 267 of actual content) is invaluable for anyone (like me) who never really worked with home ground flour before. It's a textbook on the subject and very well thoroughly done. Even the recipe section is full of more tips and tricks for almost every recipe: substitutions, storage advice, different grains to use, etc. You really do get the impression that you're reading something written by a master with decades of experience in her craft, probably because that is exactly what this book is. Really, I'm only docking .5 stars for the lack of weights in the recipes, but it's such a small complaint in the overall awesomeness of the book that I can't physically dock a star in the review. You may like to spring for the spiral bound version as this book doesn't lay flat at all. Most books don't lay flat, but this one seems to think it is its destiny to close while you're making a recipe, no matter what methods you use to keep it open. My hope is for future printings to have a spiral bound version contained within a hard cover. I can't imagine how expensive that would be to produce, but I'd seriously shell out an extra $20 for this imaginary version of the book. I'm not just saying that, either.

Sue Becker is one of the top experts in milling grains at home, and this book allows her years of experience to shine. The first part of the book is more educational, sharing the history of flour and health benefits that freshly milled grains provide.

Get the spiral version! This book is chock full of details and info; I can’t believe I hesitated to order it. Extremely well written, well formatted too for ease in reading. If you’re new to grain milling like I am, this is exactly what you need. Great basic recipes and so far I’ve tried 4 recipes and they are all excellent. The Fruit and Nut loaf which resembles a fruitcake is amazing—even my 18 yr old son who is super picky thought it was delicious. My other son really loved the Date and Orange coffee cake and keeps asking me ‘when am I gonna make the coffee cake again??’ I wasn’t sure if I wanted to splurge for the spiral version but I have to say it was totally worth the extra money—the book lays flat and it is a huge plus to have that. Even though this book is older, I noticed all the nutritional references and comments as far as oils to use, are completely accurate for today. Sue Becker was way ahead of her time and she apparently continues to be the leading voice on home grain milling. I am very glad I purchased this book and would only wish Sue would release a sequel baking book! That would be amazing 🤩 ## Frequently Bought Together - The Essential Home-Ground Flour Book: Learn Complete Milling and Baking Techniques, Includes 100 Delicious Recipes - Fresh Milled Flour Cookbook: by Grains In Small Places - Certified Glyphosate Residue Free Hard White Wheat Berries | 5 LBS | Family Farmed in Washington State | 100% Desiccant Free | Non-GMO Project Verified | 100% Non-Irradiated | Kosher | Field Traced | Burlap Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/28396625-the-essential-home-ground-flour-book-learn-complete-milling-baking](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/28396625-the-essential-home-ground-flour-book-learn-complete-milling-baking) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
