Can I substitute whole-wheat flour for white flour in recipes?

Using whole-wheat flour instead of white in some recipes is an excellent step toward a healthier diet. Both are made from ground wheat kernels. But while white flour contains only the kernel's endosperm, or large inner portion, whole-wheat flour uses the endosperm, bran and germ.

The bran, or outer layers of the kernel, is rich in fiber, while the germ, a tiny part of the kernel from which new growth forms, is packed with vitamins, minerals and protein. Most white flour is enriched with iron, B vitamins, folate and sometimes fiber, but not all of the nutrients from the bran and germ are replaced. Substituting whole-wheat flour for white will affect your cooking results, so be prepared to experiment.

Here are some guidelines. Whole-wheat flour produces denser baked goods than white, so you'll need to use less of it: 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons, instead of 1 cup of white flour. Breads made with whole wheat flour do not rise as high because the bran tears the elastic strands of gluten in ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
