Comments on: Bold Baking #1: Using Whole-Grain Flour http://ellensfoodandsoul.com/blog/2010/02/25/bold-baking/ Home Thu, 17 Jun 2010 08:43:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ellen http://ellensfoodandsoul.com/blog/2010/02/25/bold-baking/comment-page-1/#comment-708 Ellen Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:41:12 +0000 http://ellensfoodandsoul.com/blog/?p=1475#comment-708 Hi Daphne, In my experience, buckwheat flour cannot replace white flour in a recipe in the same way that whole wheat flour can. You can substitute a portion of buckwheat flour, and you'll need to experiment to find out how much. Two cookbooks that use buckwheat flour in interesting ways, and that you might enjoy referring to, are Pure Dessert, by Alice Medrich and Good to the Grain by Kim Boyce.These are both baking cookbooks that I would highly recommend.

Recently I have been experimenting with buckwheat flour because it is anti-inflammatory and generally very healthy. I like it yet my family resists. Would you comment on substituting buckwheat flour in baking, please? Many thanks, - Daphne Thank you for this very helpful information on baking and whole grain flours.

I don't really bake too much, but when I do I always use whole wheat pastry flour, but now you've explained how to use the flour(s) properly. Maybe I'll try to bake something. This weather definitely is "baking" weather! Thank you. Lynn Hi Ellen,
