Freshly milled flour for beginners
Is milling your own flour worth it? Yes, for sure! And with Unsifted®, it’s easy.
Don’t let the idea of milling your own flour intimidate you. The Unsifted® Starter Kit gives you everything you need to start milling flour at home, with every step mapped out for you. You bring the kitchen. We’ll guide you the rest of the way.
Is milling your own flour worth it?
And yes… we mean delicious. In total transparency, once you taste the goodness of fresh flour, other bread tastes flat and “dead.” Here’s the change so many of our families describe.
Before
After
Freshly milled flour is the whole grain, with nothing sifted out. Whole grain wheat contains 40 of the 44 essential nutrients, and fresh flour has its natural enzymes intact.
The Whole Grains Council recommends getting at least 3 servings of whole grains each day. Fresh bagels, bread, pasta, pizza, muffins, and pancakes make that easy (and delicious).
Meet Sarah and Keira
We’re two engineers and busy moms. Sarah was a box-mix baker. Keira grew up baking. Before fresh flour, we dealt with chronic stomach pain, bloating, headaches, constipation, acid reflux, and more. When we switched to freshly milled flour, it transformed our health. It’s been one of the biggest blessings.
But getting started was hard: endless research, so many grains, and recipes full of math. So we did the hard work once, and turned it into a simple system for busy families and non-bakers, just like us.
“For the first time in my life, bread became life-giving instead of pain-inducing.”
“I didn’t realize how sick I was until I felt well.”
Many of our customers tell us they had avoided bread or eaten gluten-free for years before finding Unsifted®, and now they’re enjoying freshly milled bread again. It’s not too good to be true. Fresh flour still contains gluten, so if you have celiac disease, a wheat allergy, or another medical condition, please talk with your doctor first.
Individual experiences vary. These stories are not medical advice; talk with your doctor about your health.
Sound familiar?
Every one of these worries makes sense. We’ve felt a few of them ourselves. Here’s what our customers said before they started, and what they told us after.
“It seemed a little overwhelming to me at first, because I had never baked bread.” — Sandra
You don’t need baking experience. Your Unsifted® Recipe Cards walk you through every step in plain language, and your Getting Started Guide has QR codes that take you straight to short videos if you’d rather watch first.
“What I assumed would feel very intimidating was actually very simple!”
— Brittany“I was nervous to jump into this, thinking it would be time consuming & high maintenance…” — Ashtyn
Milling takes seconds, at the push of a button. Each recipe card tells you exactly how much grain to mill, so there’s no extra flour to store and no math to do.
“this adds maybe 30 seconds to each recipe I make.”
— Kelsey“…what if my kids don’t like the food that the flour produces.” — Lindy
Start with a flavor your family already loves, like muffins, pancakes, or soft sandwich bread. Our blends are made to bake soft and fluffy, not dense or gritty.
“My VERY picky eaters loved it and said it tasted better than anything at the store.”
— Christi“I feared I would buy all the things and then fail at it.” — Bekah
The mill, the blends, and the recipe cards are made to work together. Same blends, same cards, same results, so you can trust what comes out of your oven.
“…they tell exactly how much grain to grind for each recipe. No more not enough or too much ground wheat!”
— Rebecca“I have never really made my own bread. So I was super intimidated.” — Laurie
No pressure and no deadlines. Your Starter Kit has everything you need right in the box, and our Starter Kit emails walk you through one small step at a time. Plus, you’re invited to the Unsifted® Collective for coaching and encouragement.
“But I finally took that step and I am so glad I did.”
— Laurie“…what ratios of which wheat berry to use in each recipe…” — Jessica
You don’t have to figure that out. Your kit comes with two Unsifted® blends, and every recipe tells you which one to use.
“It’s so great not having to guess which wheat berries I need to use for each recipe.”
— MaloryThe grain mill starter kit for beginners
The Unsifted® Starter Kit takes the guesswork out of fresh flour baking, so you can skip the research rabbit holes and go straight to baking. No piecing together equipment, grains, and instructions from different places.
Regardless of your baking experience, the Starter Kit is the easiest way to dive into milling.

How to start milling flour
Go at your own pace. Your Getting Started Guide and our Starter Kit emails walk you through each one.
Step 1
Check everything off as you unpack it and find a spot for your WonderMill® near an outlet. That’s it for day one.
Step 2
Mill the Unsifted® Prime Pack to clean your new mill, then wash the canister and lid and let them dry completely.
Throw away all of the priming flour. Never bake with it.
Step 3
Pick any recipe card. It tells you exactly how much grain to mill and which texture to set. Mill it, and bake.
Friendly tip: fresh whole grain flour is naturally high in fiber, so drink plenty of water as you start enjoying it. Everyone’s different; check with your doctor if you have questions.
Real families, real kitchens

“I cannot believe how easy it was to make! I got big beautiful loaves on my 1st try! And I am not a baker or a chef.”

“The starter kit has everything you need to get started right away as soon as it arrives.”
“The change I didn’t know I needed! … This has been life changing in all the best ways. Plus, everyone around me loves when I share the baked goods now!”
“The peace of knowing flour was never meant to be a bad food, but actually life-giving, and that I’m feeding my family that, is priceless.”
We fully recognize that every body is different, so results aren’t guaranteed, but this is a recurring theme in the reviews. Individual experiences vary. These stories are not medical advice; talk with your doctor about your health.
