I am looking for help in writing a program running off Arduino Uno that would automatically feed flour into a heated dough mixer. My screw feeder is driven by a stepper motor. The idea is to feed a certain amount (grams) of flour into the mixer when the temperatures reaches 60degC (variable), I am looking at having scale so the weight of the flour being added into the mixer can be measured.
Any help will be very much appreciated. I am very new to Arduino by the way.

go for it!
you can do it!
go get 'em tiger!
We recommend to buy an Arduino and start with the included demo projects, in order to learn the language and the special features of the system.
Then you will be prepared to consider such an advanced and unusual project, which involves difficult equipment interfacing.
While you are not working on learning the Arduino, I would start looking into temperature sensors allowed to be used in food contact and for weight (load cell) sensor and how you will get it to a 0-5V analog signal the Arduino can read.

And that means study all the documentation, looking for prohibition for use in any food preparation.

Unless it is for your own consumption, and you understand the risks.
