How to get Wheat and Flour in LEGO Fortnite

So you want to be a baker.

It doesn’t have to be all about pumpkins and berries when looking for food in LEGO Fortnite. Wheat and Flour can take your cooking to a new level if you manage to get them.

As you might guess, Wheat is used to create Flour, the main baking ingredient in LEGO Fortnite. At the Oven, you can make bread, different pies, and even a pizza, but all those recipes require Flour, so how do you get some?

First, you need to find Wheat, and that’s not always easy because it doesn’t grow anywhere. The best way to get Wheat is by looting chests at abandoned buildings and camps. It can take a bit of luck but from what I’ve played, it’s a pretty common resource to find in chests. You don’t need much Wheat either, as long as you have at least one, you can always start a farm and grow more.

How to get Flour in LEGO Fortnite

To get Flour in LEGO Fortnite you need a Grain Mill station. If you don’t have the Grain Mill unlocked yet, then you need to build and use the Stone Breaker station first. Don’t worry though as I’ll walk you through each step in detail.

Stone Breaker is one of the early stations in LEGO Fortnite that is used to create different slabs from rocks. You can build the Stone Breaker using the following materials:

Both resources can be found in caves and harvested with Uncommon (green rarity) tools. Keep in mind that you don’t need to refine Knotrood into Rods for this one, just use the raw wood. Once you’ve gathered enough resources, go ahead and build the Stone Breaker.

Tip:

After you build the Stone Breaker, craft at least one Granite Slab to unlock the Grain Mill recipe.

The Grain Mill can turn plants into seeds that you can then use for farming. So even if you’re building it just for Flour at the moment, the station may come in handy later, especially if you want to stock up on useful consumables. You can build the Grain Mill using the following materials:

After you put down the Grain Mill you’ll immediately unlock multiple recipes for it, including different seeds, grains, and Flour.

How to make Flour

Now it’s time to actually make Flour using your brand-new Grain Mill. There are two steps to making Flour in LEGO Fortnite and depending on what you’ve found in the wild you might need to do only the second step:

  1. Use the Wheat Grain recipe to grind your Wheat into Wheat Grains
  2. Use the Flour recipe to make Flour out of Wheat Grains

Come up to the Grain Mill, select the right recipe, and start adding items at the top. Remember to press “Change Recipe” at the bottom of the menu to confirm the recipe switch. I wasted quite a few resources by forgetting to do that.

Tip:

Keep a few extra Wheat Grains to build a Wheat farm so you don’t have to search for it anymore in the future.

If you want to double down on baking, I highly recommend you build a Wheat farm. You don’t need much to get started, even a single Wheat Grain will suffice, but it’s better than being forced to look for more Wheat in abandoned buildings.

Build a Garden Plot with some Soil and Fertilizer, interact with it, and deposit Wheat Grain to plant it. It takes around half a day for the crop to fully grow, so you’ll have a big enough stash in no time.
