Check out my simple steps to make wheat flour and wheat fufu swallow from scratch
My wheat flour swallow fufu made from scratch.
Wheat is the third most produced cereal after maize and rice, with lots of potassium, protein, magnesium and Iron. It’s health benefits depend on the form on which it is eaten.
Wheat can be used to make pastries, bread, cakes etc. We know that one slice of whole wheat bread contains about 1.5 grams of dietary fibre.
Wheat flour sold in bags at supermarkets is very good too and makes for easy preparation but I just learnt that some contain cassava even when it’s not obvious on the label.
STEPS TO MAKE WHEAT SWALLOW FROM SCRATCH
If you can make amala, tuwo or even millet swallows, then making wheat flour swallow will be easy for you.
- First mix a little quantity of wheat flour in tap water, stir well and place the watery mixture on a stove.
-
Let it boil very well before you start adding more and stirring continously to thicken. Do not stop stirring so it doesn’t stick to the pot and start making lumps.
-
While it boils, sprinkle in the wheat flour lightly while stirring and stop adding wheat when you get to your desired thickness.
-
Just continue stirring until it tastes cooked.
-
Turn off the heat and wrap cooked wheat swallow in cling films to retain hotness and give it a better texture.
-
Let it sit for a few minutes before you serve with some soup and enjoy your wheat swallow.
There is a shorter method I explained below and you can also use that to cook your wheat swallow.
HOW TO MAKE WHEAT SWALLOW FUFU FROM SCRATCH
First clean the wheat grains of dirt and dust.
Next, take your clean wheat grains for milling. After grinding very smooth, store the powder in an airtight container and only scoop out the quantity you need for every cooking.
Homemade Wheat flour lasts really long in airtight containers and gives tye best wheat swallows.
When I mill my wheat, it stays fresh in the airtight bucket for as long as I need until it gets exhausted. Some times as long as a year before it gets exhausted.
WHEAT SWALLOW POST DEDICATION
I love eba, so. this post is dedicated to loving people living with diabetes and those with high blood sugar.

to stay away from yam and cassava swallows.
After enjoying this sha, I’m beginning to have second thoughts on eba and other heavy swallows cos I need to shed this baby weight as soon as possible.
Wheat flour I didn’t know is so easy to process, there is no physical work involved. The wheat grains are sold at tye markets and supermarkets.Here I got three mudus (about 18 cups of wheat) and after milling, you can see the quantity in the bucket, it’s much.

After buying tye wheat from the store, clean off the chaff, mill and store in airtight container. Lahmow posted wheat flour pancake for weight watchers. I’m already thinking of trying something different like making moi moi or akamu pap from wheat flour. See you when I try and share.
