When using Strength Cartel Whole Wheat Flour, you may notice it absorbs more liquid than all-purpose flour due to the presence of the bran and germ. It is often recommended to let doughs made with whole wheat flour rest longer to allow the flour to fully hydrate. For recipes that call for all-purpose flour, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but you might want to start with a partial substitution or adjust the liquid content slightly. This flour adds a pleasant chewiness and a nutty undertone to baked goods.
