How Do You Replace White Flour With Whole Grain Flour In Recipes?
Whole grain flour is created by grinding all three parts of a grain which include the bran, endosperm and the germ. Whole grain flours are available in different varieties including whole wheat flour and brown rice flour. These flours have different flavors and textures than standard all-purpose flour and can drastically alter the appearance and flavor of baked goods so trial and error is necessary to determine the correct amount of whole grain flour that can be used.
