Making flour
« on: January 23, 2012, 05:51:52 am »
One of my main reasons for wanting a TMX was the fact that I would be able to eliminate processed foods from our diet.  I am sure I was told that you could make flour from whole organic wheat.  Is this so, have wheat ready to go........is there anything I should know beforehand. Quantities etc...  Thanks guys

Francine,  I usually grind grain in the TMX to add to my White flour.  100/200g. To 500g.white.  I place it in the bowl and grind for 20/30 seconds at speed 9.  I then have a look to see if it is the texture I want. if not fine enough,  give it another zap.  It need a bit more water in the recipe.

Francine if you are in Oz, there is a little magnetic card that comes inside the EDC - this has all your maximum weights on it and times and speeds for milling and grinding. The weights and times are so that you don't get friction heat to your food HTH  :)
