Single-conversion pages for whole wheat flour

Working with whole wheat flour

Whole Wheat Flour sits in the flours & starches group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Bran flakes create air pockets, so whole wheat weighs a little less per cup than white flour but absorbs more water.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.

Also sold as: wholemeal flour. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
