Making your own bread at home can be an exciting and tasty experience. But have you ever wondered if it is possible to make your own flour from home-grown wheat, for use in breads and pizzas? Over the past year, I’ve been finding out exactly how achievable this is on my allotment in South London.
I expect you’re wondering how this idea came about? Well, over lockdown in 2020, I decided to take on an allotment as a project to keep myself busy when I would have otherwise been stuck indoors.
My excitement for growing my own produce quickly grew and, like many, I took to the internet for inspiration on crops and varieties suitable for amateur growers and allotment-sized plots.
