To make flour, choose a grain, nut, or bean that you'd like to start with. You can make flour out of just about anything starchy, but a common choice is whole wheat berries, used to make whole wheat flour. You can usually find these in the bulk section of your local health food store. Then, simply add 1 cup of it to your blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds or until is resembles flour. This will make 1 1/2 cups of flour that you should store in an airtight container or freeze it if you don't plan to use it right away. To learn how to use a manual mill, keep reading.

Jump to:Wheat Flour is the flour made by milling / dry grinding wheat. Wheat flour as we all know is the base for lot of recipes ' roti, paratha, phulka, wheat dosa, chakli and lot more. So good the flour be ' so be the dish & food.
Wheat flour has to be brown, soft & smooth in texture. Coarse powder might make the roti slightly hard & tough ' so when you grind wheat at flour mill ask them to grind it to fine powder.
Though store bought atta claims to be whole wheat I am really not sure what variety whole wheat they use or do they mix white or plain flour with it. So its always good to make homemade wheat flour for daily use.
Wheat grain has bran ' the outer cover of the wheat which is rich in fiber, endosperm ' the meatier portion of the wheat & germ ' the vitamin, protein rich part of the wheat. Wheat Flour is the product of grinding all these parts together making it to be called Whole Wheat Flour. The presence of bran reduces the gluten development and the presence of germ make the flour retain wheat protein, vitamins & minerals.
Commercialization of the wheat flour might have separated bran from wheat for oil production which results in white wheat flour with higher gluten content. Wheat flour homemade ensures whole of the wheat is ground and therefore healthier than refined versions available at the stores which is ground without bran.
I usually grind 5 kgs of wheat flour which last us for about 45 days. These days I am using a lot of wheat flour in my baking too so it lasts only for a month. Baked goodies with wheat flour is no less and tastes so good and my kids love them so much either whole wheat breads or muffins or cakes they just love it.
Wheat is available in lot of varieties ' Punjab, Samba, Sharbati and lot more. Sharbati is the meatier & best wheat variety while Samba Wheat is the basmati equivalent of wheat and Punjab wheat is the regular & common variety. I normally mix them and grind so that it is tastier & at the same time affordable.
Wheat mix in the wheat flour I grind is in the proportion of 3 kg of Punjab Wheat and 2 Kg of Samba Wheat. My family is used to this proportion now and whenever we get flour from stores it makes us realize how tasty & good the home made wheat flour is. You can try different mix ratios based on the availability, accessibility & affordability.
Wheat flour, Atta, Chakki Flour, Chapati flour, Chakki Atta, Whole Wheat Flour all mean one and the same Wheat Flour. Wheat Flour production has been industrialized to suit the varying needs at kitchen ' roti which uses whole wheat flour, naan / parotta which uses refined wheat flour, baking which uses white all-purpose flour (grinding without bran).
Be cautious to select whole wheat flour or multigrain flour for making roti & wheat flat breads and refined wheat flour/all-purpose flour/maida for baking & white flat breads. This recipe is for whole wheat flour and check out the homemade multigrain wheat flour and homemade maida / all-purpose flour already posted here.

Multigrain atta includes whole wheat along with multigrains like oats, maize, ragi, chana, millets etc. Regular atta is grinding whole wheat kernels along to yield wheat flour.
No they are different. Wheat flour is just grinding whole wheat to yield wheat flour / chapathi flour. Refined wheat flour is maida or white flour is obtained by a process which removes the most nutrient parts the bran and germ.
