I am addicted to their whole wheat flour, and as I've started using it more and more, I thought having a "white" flour would be helpful.
Turns out - it's more than helpful! It's wonderful!
I'm using it in everything....
- to thicken soups, pot pies,
- to put into light-colored cookies
- to use in pancakes/waffles
- to use in french bread in place of some all-purpose flour
- to use in muffins
- to use in fococcia bread
- to use in apple crisp toppings
- in pizza dough!
Normally, I just use regular whole wheat flour to thicken our potpie, or soups, but the texture can be a dead giveaway that I used whole wheat. Now, I can use whole wheat - white whole wheat - without most people knowing! The texture of white whole wheat is very similar to all-purpose flour! Love it.
I'm enjoying making recipes like French Bread, healthier by adding white whole wheat in place of most of the all-purpose flour. This way, the foods still appear "white"!
I'm also trying recipes that I usually split 50/50 whole wheat/all purpose flour with this white whole wheat. So far, I'm enjoying the results -- I just need to add a bit more water; the white whole wheat is more absorbent than all-purpose flour, it seems.
Have you tried white whole wheat flour? Does anyone other than King Arthur make white whole wheat?
I LOVE all KAF products! Do you receive their catalog? I love to read it cover to cover!
ReplyDeleteI also love KAF and their blog! I get a lot of new recipes from there. I haven't tried the white wheat flour yet, but I use their whole wheat flour frequently. I find that the texture of whole wheat baked goods is best with KAF than with other whole wheat flours. I'm glad you posted about this flour; I've been wanting to try it but haven't found out anything about it. Now I'm going to have to buy a bag!
ReplyDeleteI tried this a few weeks ago too and LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy their products, too and this is also my flour of choice. I use it for everything.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite flour also. I use it in everything...we love it! I buy it (in VA) at Wal-Mart for $3.16 a bag....my mom in Arkansas can only find it at a health food store for over $7 a bag! She bought several bags of it while she was visiting me.
ReplyDeleteI've never used KAF (though I've browsed their site/blog!) but we do use a lot of white whole wheat flour (I grind from hard white wheat berries). I agree that it's wonderful, and so easy to substitute for AP flour without so drastically changing the end result! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips to check out their catalog and blog... how could I not have known about this great resource. thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I'll have to search out their white whole wheat flour.
ReplyDeleteI just bought this same bag and will be using it for the first time tomorrow to bake cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love this flour too! I feel like it's the secret ingredient for healthy baking. My kids don't even guess it's whole wheat.
ReplyDeleteI just love KAF :) It's the best! I caught it on sale at Harris Teeter a few weeks ago, 2/$5 and stocked up!
