Mockmill Grain Grinder Attachment for Stand Mixers

$242.00

The Mockmill Grain Mill: Fresh flour with the convenience of your stand mixer!

The Mockmill grain mill attaches to all KitchenAid* and AEG stand mixer and it adjusts to grind grain at the exact texture desired, from remarkably fine flour to coarse meal (and it will make cracked grain if you want). Its patented corundum-ceramic grinding stones are self sharpening and require no maintenance. The burrs are 3.125" in diameter.

The Mockmill grinds flour directly into the mixing bowl, letting you add other ingredients while the grain is milling.

Cleaning the Mockmill is simple and quick; the mill retains very little flour when finished, and accessing the milling chamber takes just a moment and requires no tools.

Flour ground in the Mockmill retains all the nutrients of the whole grain because the flour stays at a low temperature around 99˚F/37˚C. Enhance your cookies, cakes, breads and more with the wonderful flavor and superior nutrition of freshly ground flour.

All dry grains can be ground with the Mockmill, including soft or hard wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, khorasan, spelt, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum and dent (field) corn. It will also grind lentils, most dry beans (pinto, red, kidney & more), and dried, non-oily spices. It isn't suitable for herbs, oilseeds like flax or sesame, popcorn, fibrous materials, or garbanzo beans.

The highest quality standards paired with European artisan manufacturing deliver a superior product with outstanding design and craftsmanship, and the product carries a two year warranty. The Mockmill represents thirty years of grain milling experience and innovation by leading designer Wolfgang Mock.

Turn your stand mixer into a grain grinder in seconds with the new Mockmill grain mill! (The Mockmill grain mill does not fit the Ankarsrum or Kenmore stand mixers.)

*The Mockmill grain mill attachment requires at least 300 watts to drive it, so the KitchenAid Artisan Mini and some older KitchenAid machines are not compatible.

WHOLE GRAIN NUTRITION: HARVEST THE BENEFITS! 

Imagine that for years, your children ate mainly candy. Imagine that you did, too. Imagine an entire nation on a candy diet. Imagine the health consequences.

Whole grain pancakes Natural whole grains contain a myriad of health-essential nutrients, from proteins to vitamins, essential amino acids, and crucial fiber. But "white flour" consists only of the starchy endosperm of the wheat kernel. In its natural form the endosperm provides wholesome energy, but it's the least nutrient-rich part of the grain. Removed are the nutrient-packed bran, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil. Then to make it extra white, industrial processors go further, chemically bleaching it, and returning just enough of a few vitamins to stave off beriberi and rickets. They're allowed to call the end product "Enriched Flour" but a truthful label would read "Impoverished Flour." This snow white, denutritionalized substance is a commodity worth billions of dollars annually to its merchandisers because of a commercially useful trait: Unlimited shelf life. No matter how long it sits in the mass distribution channel, it can't go bad precisely because there's actually nothing left in it that can go bad. Nutritionally, it's bad when bagged.A few companies have grown enormously rich marketing this pseudo-food on the basis of convenience, ease, and its dazzling white appearance. And to make matters worse, artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors, appetite stimulants and preservatives are added to many of our foods, including numerous substances banned by other countries for their unhealthfulness. "Artificial" tells you those things aren't naturally food. But have you ever wondered what they actually are, then?Did you know some of them are actually petroleum derivatives? And what harmful effects might these complex counterfeit compounds be having on us?

The human body is an absolute marvel; scientists have a long way to go to understand more than a small fraction of how we work. But as capable and as resilient as our bodies are, common sense and history teach that we need wholesome, nutritious food to remain healthy and strong. The denatured byproducts being mass marketed today don't provide what we need, because they've been profoundly altered by processes in which real nutrition is considered last, or not at all. 

Homemade artisan whole grain breads There's a great solution to this problem. By grinding grains in your kitchen and using the whole grain flour while it's fresh, you get the nutrition needed for strength and health. You also get far tastier food, with genuine character—incomparably more satisfying than today's mass marketed pretenders. After transitioning to whole grains, putting out a plate of white styro-bread will elicit comments like "Why are you giving us this ... and where's the good stuff ?". Even flour labeled as "whole grain" in stores falls far short of what you can easily grind yourself, because unless it's ground while you wait, the essential Vitamin E in true whole grain flour would go rancid in days (meaning that it's probably been removed), and all nutrients begin steadily oxidizing-away from exposure to oxygen as soon as grain is milled. What's in those bags is not whole grain flour if it's been sitting on a shelf for even a few days; that's literally impossible. 

Making real food is more than doable, it's positively fun with help from Pleasant Hill Grain! A  grain mill is the place to start. And to make whole grain bread quickly, easily and with consistently wonderful results, nothing beats a quality  stand mixer that's capable of mixing and kneading bread that's ready to pop in the oven—quickly and without hand kneading. These machines make it easy to turn the corner to a far better and more enjoyable way of eating!

Bread Baker's Gift Bundle

If you're looking for a thoughtful gift for the avid bread baker in your life (or an idea for your own wish list), this Bread Baker's Gift Bundle is sure to please! Curated by our expert baker, this package includes many of the essentials you need to make fresh bread from start to finish.

Start down the road to homemade sandwich bread well prepared. This Bread Baker's Gift Bundle includes NutriMill Vital Wheat Gluten, Grandma Eloise's Dough Enhancer, SAF Red Label Yeast, and RealSalt sea salt–four quality ingredients that are well-loved in our own kitchen and by our customers. We've also printed our favorite Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread recipe on a thick, glossy recipe card, to be used time and time again.

Dividing dough has come a long way since dental floss... the Divider/Scraper All Stainless makes it fast and easy to divide the whole batch of dough into individual loaf amounts. It also serves well to scrape the work surface clean of flour and dough.

Having a good loaf pan is an important, but sometimes overlooked detail. The Norpro Loaf Pan has a convenient 1/2" rim around its top edge to make handling the pan with bulky oven mitts easy. When greased, the highly polished stainless steel releases the loaf with ease.

When the CDN Pocket Thermometer reaches 200 degrees, you'll know that your bread is baked through and ready to remove from the oven. Since it's instant-read the bread won't cool down while waiting for the thermometer to reach temperature.

Once the bread is finished and ready to be enjoyed, it's great to have the Kuhn Rikon Colori Bread Knife on hand to cut the first slice, and the Butter Bell Raised White Floral filled with soft, spreadable butter! (Note: The bread knife that comes with this bundle is black, not red as shown in the group picture.)

Storing homemade bread is simple with the Large Bread Bags and they come in a pack of a hundred! Keep bread either on the counter, or in the fridge or freezer for longer storage.

This gift bundle is sure to impress and delight any home baker!

Gift wrapping not included.

Note: The dough enhancer in the photo is NutriMill brand, but it's been discontinued so we're including Grandma Eloise's brand dough enhancer in this bundle now.

Grain Milling Demo Set

A picture's still worth at least a thousand words. Want to show your family and friends just what they're being shorted by eating food made with so-called white flour? Here's the ideal tool to put things in perspective. The first of the six vials in this set contains whole wheat kernels, recognized throughout history as the "staff of life". At the opposite end is bleached white flour, as gleaming and nutritionless as industrial science can make it. And the same thing is done to other types of grain.

The four middle vials with the wood base showcase the nutritional riches that today's commercial millers sacrifice on the altar of unlimited shelf life: The bran, middlings, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil, where virtually all the goodness of the whole grain resides. None of that goodness remains in white flour—but you can have it all, by making your own fresh, better-tasting flour from whole grains with a fast, convenient, modern grain mill in your home kitchen. You'll wonder what you ever saw in "styro bread"!

Hard Red Wheat, SuperPail

Our conventional/non-organic hard red winter wheat is ideal for bread making. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color. Red wheat berries are reddish-brown in color.

Our bulk wheat is triple-cleaned. It's also been tested, in the most meaningful way possible: By baking bread with it. You can depend on wheat berries from Pleasant Hill Grain to make bread and other baked goods that rise well, taste wonderful, and are packed with wholesome, natural nutrition! For those who may want to sprout some, our hard red wheat is sproutable. Sprouting results may vary.

In whole-grain foods, the plant's cellular walls protect nutrients from oxidation. The process of oxidation begins to occur as soon as grain is ground, exposing the cell's contents to oxygen in the air. Flour that is several days (or more) old, has been exposed to oxygen that inevitably diminishes its nutritional value. The way to get full nutrition from whole grain foods is to mill them when you need them, right in your kitchen. Modern high-speed grain mills make it fast and easy to enjoy the freshest, best tasting and most nutritious food imaginable!

Our hard red wheat comes in five-gallon buckets (or pails... another name for the same container). The net (contents) weight of the grain is 36 lbs. When you store grain at home, it needs to be protected in a couple of ways. First, it needs to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to it before you do. Weevils, for example. And isn't this interesting: Chances are you've never seen weevils in the white bread or crackers you bought from the store. That's because weevils put no stock in media campaigns from white-flour milling conglomerates; rather, they know what's good for them, and they'd come after your grain from miles around if you let them. And mice have good nutritional judgment, too. Not that there's ever been a mouse in your house, but if there was... you wouldn't want it having access to your grain. Secondly, grain needs to be kept dry. The grain we sell is all dried to a very low moisture level that's optimal for storage and baking and guarantees that you get the most grain for your money. You need to protect your grain from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our grain comes in provide full protection against storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids, Mylar liners, and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket, because air consists almost entirely of oxygen and nitrogen. (The oxygen absorber packets themselves are completely food-safe, being made of powdered iron and salt, which are kept separate from the product itself.) Our buckets safely lock out pests, and biological processes are put "on hold" in the Mylar protected, oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere, so your grain enjoys complete peace and quiet until you want to use it. Note: If you don't already have a bucket lid removal tool, they make lid removal easy (see lower section of this Web page). Super Pail packaging is the "gold standard," the ultimate protection for your grain!

All of our grain is triple-cleaned (also called "triple washed") to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Grain that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

Our hard red wheat has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). This applies equally to both the Organic and the Conventional (Non-Organic) grain. Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

Red wheat (triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain that’s very similar to white wheat, but has a more robust, nutty flavor. To sweeten the slightly bitter taste of red wheat, honey may be used in a bread recipe. There are three different kinds of red wheat: hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, and soft red winter wheat. The wheat for sale on this page is hard red winter wheat. Red wheat is so named because of the color of its bran, which has a reddish hue.

Red wheat is a hybrid grain, which means that older varieties of wheat with qualities such as disease resistance, weather tolerance, and high protein content, were crossed to produce a crop that has all the best qualities for bread baking and high yields. Red wheat was originally introduced to the Great Plains in the 1870s by immigrants from Russia. Today, the majority of wheat grown worldwide is hard red wheat.

Hard wheat has a higher protein content than soft wheat, and more protein translates to stronger gluten development in baked goods. This means that hard wheat is the best variety of wheat for making bread, pasta and pizza dough with. Soft wheat is ideal for cookies and pastries.

Hard winter wheat’s protein content typically ranges between 10-12%. Hard winter wheat grows predominately in the southwestern and mid-western prairie states whereas hard spring wheat will grow best in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Montana.

Hard red wheat can be ground into flour, flaked (rolled), or cooked and eaten as a side dish similar to rice. Red wheat is high in iron, protein, and fiber. It’s a versatile, delicious, and nutritious choice for everyday baking!

To cook hard red wheat, it’s best to soak the grain overnight. Soaking the grain will ease digestion, make the grain’s nutrients easier to absorb, and shorten the cooking time. To cook, add the whole or cracked, pre-soaked red wheat berries to boiling water (2.5 parts water to 1 part grain) for 45 minutes to an hour. The cooked wheat can be used to make grain salads, or to put into casseroles or soups.

If you’re transitioning from white bread to whole wheat bread, we recommend you begin baking with half white flour and half whole wheat flour, and increasing the percentage of whole wheat flour over time. This should make the adjustment easier, especially for children. If you’re unsure whether red or white wheat would be better, we suggest getting a sample of each to find out which you enjoy the flavor of better. Grain samples can be purchased here.

Hard White Wheat, Organic, SuperPail

This hard white spring wheat is certified organic and ideal for bread making. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color. If you're just starting out with whole grain baking and don't know how to pick, we suggest starting with hard white wheat berries. Note: Don't confuse "whole grain white wheat" with store-bought "white flour"! White wheat kernels are actually light brown in color. Store-bought white flour, on the other hand, is essentially nothing more than the endosperm (energy-producing carbohydrate) part of the kernel, with nearly everything nutritious removed in the interest of indefinite after-milling shelf life... which benefits huge commercial millers, at the expense of your health and the character of your food.

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). This applies equally to both the Organic and the Conventional (Non-Organic) grain. Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

White wheat (triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain that’s very similar to red wheat, but has a sweeter, milder flavor and lighter color. There are two kinds of white wheat: hard white winter wheat, and soft white spring wheat. The wheat for sale on this page is hard white winter wheat.

White wheat is a hybrid grain, which means that older varieties of wheat with qualities such as disease resistance, weather tolerance, and high protein content, were crossed to produce a crop that has all the best qualities for bread baking and high yields.

Hard wheat has a higher protein content than soft wheat, and more protein translates to stronger gluten development in baked goods. This means that hard wheat is the best variety of wheat for making bread, pasta and pizza dough with. Soft wheat is ideal for cookies and pastries.

Hard winter wheat’s protein content typically ranges between 10-12%. Hard winter wheat grows predominately in the southwestern and mid-western prairie states whereas hard spring wheat will grow best in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Montana.

Hard white wheat can be ground into flour, flaked (rolled), or cooked and eaten as a side dish similar to rice. White wheat is high in iron, protein, and fiber. It’s a versatile, delicious, and nutritious choice for everyday baking!

To cook hard white wheat, it’s best to soak the grain overnight. Soaking the grain will ease digestion, make the grain’s nutrients easier to absorb, and shorten the cooking time. To cook, add the whole or cracked, pre-soaked white wheat berries to boiling water (2.5 parts water to 1 part grain) for 45 minutes to an hour. The cooked wheat can be used to make grain salads, or to put into casseroles or soups.

If you’re transitioning from white bread to whole wheat bread, using white wheat is an ideal wheat to start with because of its mild flavor, and white color. We recommend you begin baking with half white flour and half whole wheat flour, and increasing the percentage of whole wheat flour over time. This should make the adjustment easier, especially for children. If you’re unsure whether red or white wheat would be better, we suggest getting a sample of each to find out which you enjoy the flavor of better. Grain samples can be purchased here.

Whole Grain Flour Power Book

Lounell Claybourn, with her daughter Marianne Claybourn, wrote “Whole Grain Flour Power: Sharing the secrets of baking with incredible flavorful, nutrient-packed, freshly milled flour". Their book is a comprehensive collection of customer favorites from over nine years of their successful farmers market business in Houston Texas. 

Whole Grain Flour Power offers an in-depth look at the wonder of wheat and the decline in world health linked to commercially milled flour. This 311-page cookbook includes tools, tips, and techniques for new and experienced bakers, and over 90 easy to follow recipes. You'll find a wide variety of recipes including sweet, savory, and simple breads, desserts, and a fun collection of tortillas, crackers, energy bars and more, all made with freshly milled flour. Full color photos beautifully showcase the end results.

Whole Grain Flour Power reflects a passion for the unmatched flavor and nutrients found in freshly milled whole grain flour. That passion was the motivating force for Lounell and Marianne as they poured their hearts into everything they baked for their farmer's market stand. Customers became “regulars” and then became friends. They held baking classes for those who wanted to learn the skills of milling and baking for themselves and witnessed a growing consciousness of the importance of healthy eating choices for their families. This cookbook began at their request, and it's become their passion now to share it with all “bakers by heart!”

Cookbook features:

  • Focus on Freshly Milled Flour: Emphasis on the importance of using freshly milled whole grains, used within three hours of milling, to retain maximum nutrients and flavors. 
  • Personable Directions: Enjoy the warm and inviting approach to baking, reflected by years of experience in running a successful farmers market baking business. 
  • Wide Variety of Recipes: From the popular Cranberry Walnut Bread to the savory Caramelized Onion Bread, these recipes cater to both sweet and savory palettes. 
  • Educational Content: Beyond recipes, the book includes educational sections on the wealth of nutrients in every grain of wheat, an interesting look at the history of commercial flours, and practical tips on home milling.

EDITORIAL REVIEW by Peter Reinhart 

"Whole Grain Flour Power, by the mother/daughter team of Lounell and Marianne Claybourn, is a book from the heart and one that will touch yours as well. It is dedicated to the principle that freshly milled whole grain flour is far more delicious and nutritious than commercially milled flour. The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes, and their book is chock full of easy to make recipes and delicious-looking photos of the many products the Claybourn's have been selling successfully for years at local markets. Reading their story allows us to enter into a world that evokes wholesomeness and a yearning for both a nostalgic past as well as a hopeful future. It has been said that the future of bread can be found in its past, and the recipes and photos in this book transport our longings for that past into the present moment, evoking a renewed belief that, yes, this is what I want, what I've always wanted." — Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread and Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads

Truly excellent!
By Lynn C. in CA on 1/10/2017 Verified Buyer

After researching and watching the many videos of the Mockmill vs other grain mills, I decided on the Mockmill. The price is very reasonable and the quality seemed solid. My only qualm, I must admit, was how fine could I really get my flour. However, after having just milled many pounds of Einkorn and Spelt flour, I am thrilled to report, it is VERY fine—as fine as I'll ever need for my purposes (breads, cakes). Possibly, if I was an actual pastry chef, I would prefer a baby powder fine, but the Mockmill grinds a wonderful powdery and silky all purpose flour for me. I LOVE my new kitchen friend!! It's really well made, very solid, easy to take apart if needed—no tools required! I also like the convenience of not having multiple appliances out on my counter with this. And, I might add, it was amazingly quiet! I'm very happy with this purchase. Thank you PHG for the great videos and reviews on these mills. Wolfgang Mockmill is a genius. : )

Truly great product!!
By Ernest I. in ON on 1/26/2017 Verified Buyer

This is the perfect mill for our smaller kitchen. I didn't want a stand alone mill but the reviews for the KitchenAid brand attachment mill were disappointing. The Mockmill has solved this problem! The reviews are quite correct, it fits the mixer perfectly, and makes a nice fine flour, hard or soft wheat in ONE pass! Does not strain the mixer either, I bet it could run all day with this on it. We're very happy with the mill and it stores away neatly in a drawer when not in use. An excellent design and well crafted. And the service from Pleasant Hill was the best too, even on a phone in order from Canada, we could not be happier.

Update..... six months in and the mill is still working perfectly, it is used about twice a week on average and has worked perfectly on a variety of wheat and dent corn we remain very happy with this purchase.

So easy
By Jayne T. in NJ on 2/01/2016 Verified Buyer

I just measure out the amount I want, pour it into the mill and turn it on. When it's finished, I mix in my other ingredients and I'm done. It's fantastic. It works so well, I started growing my own wheat.

Mockmill
By Coleman M. in MI on 8/05/2015 Verified Buyer

I use this mill about once a week for bread making. It works well. I expected the flour to be a little finer than it is. I generally sift out the coarse stuff and run a second pass. No problem.

Works great
By Barbara H. in NJ on 9/30/2016 Verified Buyer

Just tried it for the first time and I'm very happy. Was hard to take apart to clean the stones. You need very strong hands or I used the counter to push against it or would never have gotten it apart. Took some doing but got it done. Worth the trouble. May be easier to take apart next time. So far very happy. Fine grind looks like store bought flour. Glad I purchased this item.

Moderator : Barbara, using the counter to push against is a good technique for disassembly, and the cover sleeve should remove more easily after you have it off just a few times. Thanks for your review!

Love this, so easy to use!
By Margaret S. in ME on 3/24/2019 Verified Buyer

I am experimenting with Pizza and wanted to incorporate freshly milled flour in my pizza dough. Bought this on the recommendation of Mark Vetri in his excellent pizza book, Mastering Pizza. It is a fun tool to use, and it does add a whole new dimension to my homemade pizza! BTW, I looked at the milling attachment made by Kitchen Aid. Beware, the KA-made attachment is not a "stone" grinder but rather uses metal grinders. Not good!

An update..after 3 months..still love it!

Excellent grain mill
By Annette Y. in PA on 3/18/2017 Verified Buyer

I've wanted a grain mill for a long time, but couldn't afford a good one. When I read about the Mockmill Grain Mill attachment to a Kitchen Aid at a reasonable cost I decided to try it. I've had it for two weeks and it works beyond what I anticipated. The biggest plus is that it is a stone grinder and having many variable settings is very nice. Never thought I could own a stone grinder and now thanks to this model, I do.

Update: I've used my Mockmill for three months and it works so smoothly and quietly. I am so glad I made the purchase. Well designed and performance is excellent.

Love the Mockmill Grain Mill
By William D. in MI on 9/06/2015 Verified Buyer

I've been using the mill to grind wheat berries into grain. It works very well. I can put about 1.5 lbs of berries in the hopper. This was one of the reasons the I purchased my KitchenAid Mixer. I couldn't be happier.
