Foods like cookies, scones, muffins, chocolate cakes, and quick breads taste good when made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour.
You can also use regular milk or buttermilk for additional liquid. For example, add 2 teaspoons (9. 9 ml) of liquid per 1 cup (240 ml) of whole wheat flour. As whole wheat flour absorbs liquid more slowly, whole wheat doughs will be stickier than white flour doughs.
As you become accustomed to the whole wheat flavor, you can try substituting more and more of the white flour with the whole wheat, just as long as you’re not making bread.
For example, if your recipe calls for 2 c (470 ml) of white flour, use 1 c (240 ml) of white flour and 1 c (240 ml) of whole wheat flour.
The orange juice is sweet and full of natural sugars, so it will compensate for the bitter flavor of the whole wheat.
Wheat gluten can be found in the natural food section of your grocery store.
White whole wheat flour is made from a softer, lighter-colored type of wheat, whose taste isn’t as strong as regular whole wheat.
Dough that contains whole wheat flour may also take longer to rise.
A resealable plastic bag works well, as does a plastic container.
