Wheat Flour is the base of the valley's baking, from a plain loaf of Bread to Pizza, Pancakes and every kind of cake. It is milled from Wheat, one of the cheapest and fastest crops to grow, or bought from Pierre's General Store whenever a recipe needs it. A stocked fridge saves many trips to town, because so many dishes start with a bag of it. Flour also links the farm's grain harvest to the kitchen: Wheat that is not brewed into Beer can become flour for the next dish. It sells for little and villagers dislike it as a gift, so the kitchen is where it belongs.
The in-game description reads: A common cooking ingredient made from crushed wheat seeds.
Location
The Mill is the home-made route. Robin builds it at the Carpenter's Shop for gold, Stone, Wood and Cloth. Dropping a bundle of Wheat into it gives one bag of Wheat Flour, ready in the box beside the Mill the next morning. The same Mill can grind Beets and Unmilled Rice on the same day.
Wheat itself is easy to grow. Pierre sells the seeds cheaply, the crop grows in both Summer and Fall, and it ripens in a few days. A Scythe cuts the harvest, and a small patch planted in Summer can be replanted straight away for a Fall crop.
Pierre's General Store also sells Wheat Flour every day of the year, and JojaMart stocks it at a higher price. A bought bag costs twice its sell value, so buying is best kept for urgent recipes.
Uses
Bread is the simplest dish of all, made from a single bag of flour. The Queen of Sauce teaches it on her Summer show, and Gus sells the recipe at the Stardrop Saloon. Bread then goes into larger meals: Bruschetta, Stuffing and the Survival Burger all need a loaf.
Cooking flour with an Egg makes Pancakes, which give a Foraging buff. Cooking flour with a Tomato makes Spaghetti, and Lewis mails that recipe at three hearts. Adding Cheese to that pair makes Pizza instead, which The Queen of Sauce teaches on a Spring show.
Fish dishes use flour for breading. A Largemouth Bass with flour and Oil makes Crispy Bass, which Kent teaches at three hearts. It gives a large Magnetism boost for gathering loot. A Squid with flour and Oil makes Fried Calamari, a recipe from Jodi at three hearts. A Sunfish and a Bream with flour make Baked Fish. Crab Cakes combine a Crab with flour, an Egg and Oil.
Odder recipes take it too. Shane mails the recipe for the Strange Bun at seven hearts, and that bun mixes flour with a Periwinkle and Void Mayonnaise.
Most of the dessert menu also starts with flour. Cakes, cobblers, pies, tarts, muffins and the Maple Bar all pair it with Sugar and a fruit or other filling.

Notes
Wheat has another path besides the Mill. A Keg brews it into Beer, which is worth weighing up before every bundle of Wheat goes to the Mill.
A small reserve of flour in the fridge makes many recipes possible at short notice. Villagers react poorly to raw flour as a gift.
