Flour Sifter — 50 Mesh
$11.00
In stock
Make your own high extraction bread flour with our 40 mesh and 50 mesh flour sifters.
The “40” and “50” numbers refer to the number of mesh squares per inch.
High extraction (or bolted) flour is whole grain flour with some percentage of the bran sifted out. Great for when you want a lighter loaf yet retain the nutrient dense germ.
It’s amazing how much coarse bran can be sifted out of a few cups of whole grain flour using this simple mesh strainer. It’s a reasonable alternative to an expensive grain mill attachment or purchasing a larger than needed quantity of high extraction flour and risk spoilage before you’re done using it.
For a finer flour texture, sift flour though the 40 mesh sifter (sold separately). For a super fine flour, sift again though this 50 mesh sifter. It is fairly quick and easy to sift flour through the 40 mesh screen. You will end up with a flour texture that is quite fine, without “losing” a lot of material. The 50 mesh sifter, on the other hand, takes a good bit longer to pass the flour through and quite a lot of material is separated. Most people are fine with the results achieved from using the 40 mesh sifter only. But for those who want something approaching a 00 flour or cake flour, passing flour through the 50 after the 40 is the way to go.
Dimensions: 11″ diameter at the rim. 2 ⅜” depth.

This sifter does exactly what it is supposed to do. It arrived in perfect shape. I purchased this sifter and the 50 mesh. It is a good combination. I use it to sift my freshly-milled flour. The price was good and I prefer to purchase from smaller businesses.

Nice quality and size. I got this to use alongside my new Mockmill and the #40 sifter, with the goal of making my own fine flour.

We have this along with the 40 and together they make a fine flour from any grain you can mill! Always nice to do business with you!

I also have the 40 mesh, to separate hulls from flour. But this little beauty is the icing on the cake 🙂 Superfine flour is now within everyone’s reach. It’s very well made, and I’ve used it extensively. Well worth the long trip from the US to New Zealand. Thanks Breadtopia 🙂

I’ve been trying to use a high powered blender’s dry container to mill whole wheat berries for the last couple of years. This sifter compensates for the blender not doing a perfect job, and should allow me to use fresh flour in all sorts of settings, including waffles, which don’t respond well to coarser ground flour. I definitely made the right choice going with #50 mesh instead of #40, as the end result is silky smooth, and nearly indistinguishable from store-bought white flour by feel. The sifter itself seems well made, and Breadtopia is the only place I could find a quality one with larger than a 6″ diameter.
