Does anyone know if you need to adjust any recipe in which you substitute wheat flour for white flour?

    Generally if you are going to use wheat flour you should not replace more than 25% of the white with wheat until you have tried it first.

    the wheat flour is a bit more dense and if you are making bread it will not rise as high.

    If after replacing 25% of the white with wheat you like the result then you can increase the amount of wheat the next time.

    There are some White wheat flours that act more like a white flour than a typical whole wheat.

    but it is to your taste and the recipe you are using.

  • Yes. I have not had success with completely swapping out the wheat for white. I use about 1/2 and 1/2.
