Are you ready to learn how to bake and get baked with cannabis flour?
Canna flour ingredients
Before getting started with making the flour, you’ll need the following items:
- 7–10 grams of decarbed cannabis
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- Blender or coffee grinder
- An airtight jar/container
Using quality ingredients is key. Some marijuana lovers prefer using specific strains for minimal munchies once the buzz wears off, but you can choose whichever cultivar you like.
How to make canna flour
Making pot flour couldn't be easier; it requires only a few items and takes less than 15 minutes.
Let's get started with this simple and effective process.
Step 1
Remove the stems and seeds from your dried and cured weed.
Step 2
This next step is one of the most essential, decarboxylation of your cannabis.
It’s the process of heating cannabis, converting THCA and CBDA into THC and CBD. It allows these cannabinoids to drop one carboxyl group and gain a hydrogen atom.
Without this process, you wouldn’t feel any of the psychoactive effects.
Here is a simple step-by-step guide to decarboxylating your marijuana using an oven:
Preheat the oven to 250℉.
Break up your cannabis into small bits.
Evenly spread the marijuana on a piece of baking paper.
Bake the buds at 250℉ for 25–30 minutes to ensure efficient decarboxylation.
Your cannabis turns light to medium brown and becomes very dry.
Remove the marijuana ingredients from the baking sheet and let them cool down.
Now add your cannabis to food and enjoy the effects.
Step 3
Add your decarbed cannabis into a coffee grinder or blender.
Step 4
Blend the weed into a powder (do this a couple of times to get it finely ground).
Step 5
Add one cup of flour to the fine cannabis and blend for 20 seconds. Blend it a few times to ensure that the marijuana and flour mix well.
Step 6
Empty your weed flour into an airtight jar or container and store it in a cool dark place until you’re ready to use it.
You may even want to keep it in the same place you store your cannabis seeds.
How simple is that?
Use this infusion in your next baking recipe by swapping a quarter or a third of regular all-purpose flour with pot flour.

2 recipes with cannabis-infused flour
There are some wonderful things you can make using this infused flour. Let's look at two popular ones.
Cannabis french bread
This delectable treat is easy to make, provided you have a stand mixer with a hook. If you don't have one, you can knead the dough by hand, although it will take much longer.
Ingredients required are:
- 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 small pack of quick rise yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup cannaflour
- 1 ¼ cup warm water
- 1 ½ teaspoon of salt
Method:
Pour the warm water into a bowl and add the honey and stir until it's dissolved. Then sprinkle the yeast into the mixture. Stir well and allow it to rest for 10 minutes
In a separate bowl, pour the all-purpose flour, salt, canna flour, and yeast.
Use your stand mixer to knead all the ingredients into a ball of dough. Sprinkle in additional flour if it feels too sticky.
Once your dough has a smooth consistency, knead it by hand for a few minutes and place it in an oiled bowl to rise. Cover it with a damp tea towel and let it rest for an hour.
After the allotted time, the dough should have doubled in size. Punch it down before removing it from the bowl and giving it another quick kneading.
Split the dough in half and shape it into the elongated shape of french bread. Repeat this with the second half, then cover both with a tea towel to rise.
Preheat your oven to 375℉ while you wait for the dough to reach its optimal size.
Bake the bread on a flat tray with parchment paper for 25–30 minutes.
When the bread turns a golden color, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before indulging.
Cannabis-infused savory crepes
Canna crepes are a delicious treat at any time of day. Topping them with savory delights makes them even more enjoyable. To make these, you'll need:
- ½ cup canna flour
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter (melted)
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, sift in all your dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour the milk, eggs, and butter into a blender, and add the combined dry ingredients.
Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
Preheat a non-stick pan with some oil to minimize burning.
Pour a ¼ cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to spread the mixture evenly.
Cook the crepe until the top starts to appear dry. Then, using a spatula, flip it around and cook the other side for a minute.
Remove the cooked crepe, and add your desired topping before folding it into two halves to form a triangular pocket.
Edibles in moderation
Cannabis-infused flour contains active THC, which is very potent and needs to be stored in a place only accessible to adults.
When smoking cannabis, it enters your lungs and is absorbed into the bloodstream. Edibles, when consumed, are processed in the liver and stomach, making them longer-lasting and stronger.
Canna flour-infused treats, when eaten, get into your digestive system and convert THC to 11-hydroxy-THC, which is seven times more potent than smoking marijuana. You can infuse various options, but the best strains for edibles enhance the food’s flavor.
Remember to enjoy with caution, as these treats have a way of soaring your mind and body to undiscovered realms. Edibles take between 30–60 minutes to kick in; save yourself from experiencing adverse effects, and start with smaller portions.
