Soft White Winter Wheat Flour and Whole Wheat Flour
Is this Whole Grain Flour?
Yes, but it is a finer grind to work better in pastries and baked goods.
Why is this better for pastries, cookies, cakes, etc…?
This variety of wheat is lower in protein than other wheat. This allows for the final product to be more tender.
Can I use this in a bread machine?
We do not recommend it. Try Whole Wheat, or Bread Flour
We have pamphlets to send.
How do I adjust my recipes?
You may use this flour alone in recipes or mix it with other flours. Typically bread or all purpose flour.
You may need additional liquid. Add an additional tablespoon until the desired consistency is achieved.

Can this be used in place of cake flour?
Yes, with the following adjustments....
for each cup called for place 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a measure cup and add the rest as pastry flour then sift to give a lighter texture.
If I store my flour in the freezer, what do I do before using it in a recipe?
It is best to bring all ingredients to room temperature before use, unless
otherwise specified in the recipe.

Because cold ingredients may adversely affect the yeast performance.
