Notes
Measuring by volume: Fresh flour is lighter and fluffier than store flour. If measuring by volume, use about 1 ¼ cups freshly milled flour to equal 1 cup store-bought all-purpose flour.
Weighing flour: For best accuracy, always weigh flour by grams instead of cups.
When to sift: Use sifted flour for delicate bakes like cookies, scones, and cakes. For rustic bakes such as muffins, breads, and pancakes, whole-grain unsifted flour works beautifully.
Storage tips: Freshly milled flour is most flavorful and nutritious when used immediately. If storing, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Always bring flour back to room temperature before using for best baking results.
