About Whole Wheat Flour
Stir the flour before measuring so that bran is distributed throughout the cup. Do not discard material left in a sieve: that would alter the whole-grain ingredient.
Whole-wheat dough can change as it rests and hydrates. Follow the recipe's rest before deciding it needs more liquid; a white-flour substitution has no single universal adjustment.
Tips for measuring Whole Wheat Flour
- Keep the bran in the measured flour.
- Use a recipe written for the intended whole-grain proportion.
Common mistakes
- Sifting out bran while still treating the flour as whole wheat.
