You just need to play around with it and figure out what ratio of regular white flour you need to mix with it. I completely use it to replace white flour when I make corn bread. My mil uses it as much as possible when she bakes and tries to use the smallest amount of white flour as she possibly can.

Good old trusty Binah. I'm not sure when I read it, but it was recently that they had recipes with white whole wheat flour. If you don't have it, I'll check.

I use it for challah. It's great! You can completely substitute it for white flour.

You can use it as a complete replacement and it's still fluffy?

Yes. I didn't believe it either until I tried it.

Start small, first use it to coat the chicken cutlets, etc. with time you will be more confident. It adds terrific flavor and crunch.

Could someone please tell me where to get this? I have read about it in the Binah, but I couldn't find it anywhere. What companies have it? Gold medal? any heimishe companies? Also is it just as nutritious as the regular ww?
Thanks

Would someone please clue me in on the difference(s), if any, between:
White flour
Whole wheat flour
& White whole wheat flour.
If I am supposed to avoid white flour, does that mean that "white whole wheat" is out as well?

King Arthur makes white whole wheat flour that is very good quality. (I was told it is also yoshon.) Nutritionally it is the same as regular whole wheat. I substitute it for all the flour in the classic challa recipe from the Spice and Spirit. (I also use honey instead of sugar.) It comes out delicious! I also use this flour instead of regular white in bread (bread machine), pizza dough and cakes.
For a while my challa and breads were coming out very heavy and I realized it was the regular whole wheat flour from a heimishe brand.

I would dbl check w/the company, but they claim that all the bran and germ is included in the white whole wheat flour. The diff b/w this and reg WW is the variety of wheat that it comes from. I think white ww comes from a variety of wheat raised in canada and reg ww is here....there is a flr in canada very similar to white ww called rose something....

I use this exclusively and love it! a wonderful sub for reg ww flr.

speaking of which, what's the deal with King Arthur flour & hashgacha? I noticed that the white and **some** bags of whole wheat carry the OU and ***some bags*** of whole wheat are half-moonK or whatever you call it. my rav said not to use the moonK.
anyone know why the OU doesn't give hashgacha to all of it?
and what's on the white whole wheat?

I love the white whole wheat flour by King Arthur. I also use it to bake bread in my bread machine. It makes awesome pancakes and waffles too!
via Star-K email) that flour does not require a hechsher.
