Grain Mills
These are the mills I recommend if you're just starting out with milling your own flour.
This is great to start with if you're on a low budget. It's the most affordable way to start milling your flour.
KitchenAid Grain Mill Attachment
Love this mill if you're just starting out, want something better than the KitchenAid attachment, but don't want to get the fancy $600 either.
The Kitchen Mill - Electric Grain Grinder
When you're ready to invest in a high quality more upscale mill, this is one of the top recommended brands.
NutriMill Grain Mill
Grain to Purchase
Make sure to purchase grain that's glyphosate free and organic. These are the brands that I highly recommend and bake with myself.
Not ready to buy grain in bulk? Get a bag of these hard white wheat berries to try milling with! Great quality and glyphosate residue free.
Certified Glyphosate Free Hard White Wheat Berries 5 LBS
When you're ready to buy in bulk, check to see if Azure Standard delivers in your area. This is where I purchase my grain in bulk and it's SO much more economical.

Dough Mixers
These are the dough mixers you'll need in order to properly knead the dough. While you can do it by hand, it will save a lot of time, hand, and headache if you have a machine that can do it for you.
If you're going to be making 2-3 loaves at once, the KitchenAid won't cut it. You'll need to upgrade to this Bosch dough mixer so it can handle that amount of dough.
Bosch Bread Dough Mixer
Seems like many people already have some version of the KitchenAid stand mixer. When you're just starting out, this is all you need, but it can really only handle mixing about one loaf of bread at at time.
KitchenAid Classic 4.5 Qt Tilt-Head Mixer
If you already have a KitchenAid, but don't have a dough hook, you will need this!

Grain & Bread Storage
Grain storage is KEY if you're going to be buying in bulk in order to have the most cost effective bread loaves. These are the different types of grain and bread storage I recommend to ensure your grain and bread stays fresh as long as possible.
This is one of the few bread boxes that I've found on Amazon that reviews say does NOT have that weird off-putting metallic smell some cheaply made bread boxes have!
Double Layer Bread Box Storage
PEST PROOF and cute!? This dispenser can hold up to 22 lbs of grain and has a little storage place for star-anise or garlic to help keep pests out! And it looks so cute on my counter.
UFORU Grain Storage & Dispenser
When you need to store grain in bulk, and have the pantry space to do it, these storage bins come highly recommended.
Saim 25lb Flour Storage Container 4Pack
Great for gifting bread loaves to friends and family!
Paper Bread Bags
Great for storing bread on the counter if you don't have or want a bread box.
