Chef’s Secret

Due to wholemeal's higher bran content, recipes may require slightly more liquid than with white flour.

Substitutions

Best Match

Whole Wheat Flour + Baking Powder + Salt

1 cup flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 0.25 tsp salt

Closest functional match for baking recipes.

Self-Rising Flour (white)

1:1

Similar leavening, but lacks whole grain benefits and flavor.

Plain Whole Wheat Flour

1:1 (add leavening)

Requires adding baking powder/soda for rise; good for dense items.

Spelt Flour (add leavening)

1:1

Alternative whole grain, requires leavening, different gluten structure.
