I use white wheat flour instead of that heavy whole wheat (mostly molasses for color).

If the bread type is going to hurt you, you got serious health issues. I'm fine with the regular King Arthur bread flour without the 'whole wheat' nonsense.

Max I'll use is 8% 'whole wheat' with the regular bread flour.

Thanks, that makes sense. Will try white one next time. I don’t understand what gluten does to the bread though.

Everyone take notice that you can tell what kind of wheat is being used.

The flour on the left is regular King Arthur unbleached bread flour.

The flour on the right is that heavy arsed 100% whole grain whole wheat flour.

Also King Arthur.

Almost all my bread flour is King Arthur. I spent time at the mill down in San Antonio a few years ago.

One thing to notice is the 4 grams of protein. Good baking flour has that. Too little isn't good, nor too much.

Skip the 3 gram (General Purpose Flour) and the 5 gram.
