How To Make All Purpose Flour At Home | How To Make Maida Flour At Home

Healthy Homemade Maida/All Purpose

 A whole grain composed of three parts : bran, endosperm and germ.The bran is the outer shell, which provides Vit.B,fibre and trace minerals. The endosperm is the largest portion of the grain, which provides carbohydrates, protien and small amount of vitamins and minerals.The germ is the embryo,which sprouts into new plant.It contain vit.B, minerals and healthy fats.
 Maida /all purpose flour is made from the endosperm of the grain.The flour is then undergone for chemical bleaching in order to improve its colour and baking properties.
 When we remove bran and germ from whole wheat flour/atta what we get is  maida/all purpose flour..Although the healthy portions are removed, I would like to call it as "healthy" as it is unbleached.
Either grind the whole wheat grain using mixer grinder and then sift to remove the germ and bran, or just sift the whole wheat flour/atta using fine mesh net to make healthy maida at home.
 Use the finest mesh net to sift the flour. I am using a chiffon cloth. Put the germ/bran and flour in separate bowl.Sift the flour in small portions.
 Sift the flour twice to get the consistency more like maida.
 No need to discard the bran and germ..use them in the recipes using whole wheat flour.
