Do I Need To Convert My Recipes
Short Answer = YES
When you buy store bought flour, they sift out the bran and germ that contain many of the fiber and minerals. Not only are the fiber and minerals healthy but they also take up volume. Therefore when you are using your countertop mill to make your recipe, it's important to consider the volume difference. I always change my recipe from CUPS TO GRAMS. 1cup of store bought flour is equal to about 1 1/4 cups of milled flour or more accurately 155grams. We made this simple conversion calculator to help you with the math. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Freshly milled flour has a slower absorption than regular flour. I haven't figured out the magic number of minutes per cup yet but the key is to let your wet and dry mixture sit for a little longer than normal for baking. See Below
