whole wheat flour

Best flour of all, hands down! (5.0)

As an avid baker, I've tried just about every kind, brand and blend of flour out there. Whole wheat pastry flour tops the list.

Even for people who think they won't like "whole wheat" because it sounds too health-food-y, think again. Every time I use this flour I get superior results and I've used it for everything: piecrust (the best!), muffins, cakes, as a thickener in sauces and soups and any other use for which a cook needs flour.

One mixed flour product I've tried is labelled "white/whole wheat flour" and it cannot compare to real whole wheat pastry flour. True whole wheat pastry flour is more finely milled than traditional whole-wheat flour and has a light texture that always blends perfectly in recipes.

Any serious cook needs to try using this flour, if you haven't done so yet. Prior to finding it on amazon, I had to make trips to specialty health food stores and once bought a 50-pound sack just to avoid running out during our New England winters. Storage was a challenge, so finding smaller packages online is a wish come true!

try it in a cookie (5.0)

If you've never cooked with whole wheat pastry flour, you're in for a treat. We are all familar with the heaviness and "wheaty-ness" that regular whole wheat flour imparts to baked goods. But whole wheat pastry flour has been milled finer and amazingly, works wonderfully in baked goods like chocolate chip cookies. Most recipes out there will call for half whole wheat flour and half regular flour; I've found I can do that and no one can detect any "wheaty-ness". Allrecipes.com has a whole wheat chocolate chip cookie recipe that is one of my favorites. This product is not always easy to find on your supermarket shelves (look in specialty flour section, not regular flour section) so might be worth ordering online.

Best whole grain for pastry (5.0)

For pastry type baking, pie crust, fluffy pancakes, brownies, etc. this is a really nice flour. It works well with any recipe calling for baking powder and/or soda since it is very light. No need to mix whole wheat and white, just use this 100% stone ground flour. The yogurt pancakes on the bag are terrific.

Whole wheat flour (4.0)

It is a little less fine than other whole wheat pastry flours I have used in the past, so for biscuts I used a little white flour to keep the consistency I am used to. I do like it just fine for other uses like muffins.

If you are into whole grain baking, this is necessary. Works as good as bleached flour for pie crusts, and such.

couldn't find any whole wheat for bread makers in any of the grocery stores. tried this wheat in our oster 5838 and our whole wheat bread came out perfect with a number of recipes.
