What is the difference from whole grain food mulit-gran food and white flour?
Wholemeal flour has more grain and other 'good' stuff in it so it is healthier and it is light to dark brown in colour though if you're making cake I would recommend using plain white because it generally tastes better.

Can you use self rising flour when making a roux?
Normally not. Bread flour is does not contain chemical leavening agents, whereas self raising flour does. (So you'd be adding in additional raising agents which will probably mess up the end result). Also, self raising flour has a lower protein and gluten content, when compared to bread flour; this means that if you were to make bread with self raising flour, it would be prone to collapsing and is likely to remain undderisen/crumbly.

Can you use wholemeal bread mix as wholemeal flour?
Not usually. Most flours are ground wheat, but "whole wheat" flour is usually too dense and contains too much gluten and protein to rise well and you may find the texture more like corn bread than an actual light cake texture. Even when baking bread, whole wheat flour is mixed with plain white flour to improve texture and rising ability.

No, because the shortbread will rise. You can use plain flour or rice flour instead though. it would be really nice.
