Whole wheat flour..

what can I make with it? Does anyone have any recipes I can use.

Re: Whole wheat flour..

My mom uses Wheat Flour in anything she uses White Flour in it tastes the same if not better.

Re: Whole wheat flour..

You mean in baked things - cakes and cookies, etc? what about bread or pizza dough? Doesn't it change the texture?

Re: Whole wheat flour..

I mean anything but she doesn't make bread or pizza dough but I assume it would be good too I would give it a try.

Re: Whole wheat flour..

From what I've learned, you can pretty much replace any recipe that has white flour with wheat flour. I'm not sure if you use the same amount-wise (I think you can), but you can definately switch from white to wheat and vice versa.

Re: Whole wheat flour..

We use it for basically everything.

Pizza dough and cake included, here is the pizza dough recipe we use.

I substitute the white flour for semolina and it comes out better

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
1 package dry yeast
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt

Proof yeast in a measuring cup with lukewarm water.
In a food processor add whole wheat and all purpose flours, proofed yeast, oil mixed with honey and salt. Pulse processor to combine all ingredients. Then process until the dough forms a ball on the blade. Remove dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in bulk.
Punch down dough and transfer to a floured board and knead briefly. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls of dough, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring the dough to room temperature before proceeding.
On a floured board roll and stretch each piece of dough into a 7 to 8-inch circle. Place each circle on a wooden pizza peel or pizza pan and top as desired.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and bake 7 to 8 minutes per pizza.
