If you do some research at Fresh Bread.com you will find it is very good for you. Iused to grind my own wheat and make my own bread and pizza dough and cinnamon rolls out of it and I was very healthy. I am thinking of investing in a Bosch Universal Plus Mixer and a grinder again. The whole wheat kernel is full of nutrition and fresh ground wheat gives you all of that nutrition. It loses it's nutritional value sitting on a shelf. Lots of protein, vitamins and bran to scrub your system clean!

∙ 14y agoBetter depends on what you want. You will get a different flavor in the finished product. I'm not sure barley has as much gluten if any so depending on what you were making, it may tend to fall apart or not rise as much. You can mix most any kind of flour with either whole wheat or white flour on a 50/50 ratio. That way a structure can form in the product.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on what you are using it for. Most recipes call for all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is a little courser and can make your finished product have a grainy texture. If using a bread machine, there are bread machine flours you can use although all-purpose flour is what I use in my bread machine.

Why does white flour have better keeping qualities than whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour still contains the germ of the wheat, whereas white flour does not. The wheatgerm is where the grain stores fats/oils, which are intended help the grain to germinate again if it were planted rather than ground into flour. However these oils tend to go rancid easily, which is why white flour has better keeping qualities.

What is the difference between high grade flour and plain flour?
High grade flour or strong flour has a higher content of gluten (a protein formed when flour is moistened) so is mor4e suitable for baking items that require this "strength" such as bread and dense cakes such as dried fruit cakes. A lower gluten content is desirable for more delicate textured items such as soft cakes and pastries.
Is flour less bread better?
Is flourless bread better than what? In order for a product to be "bread" it must have some sort of flour, otherwise, it is not bread. If the question refers to gluten-free bread, then that is "better" in the sense of healthier for individuals who cannot tolerate gluten, a type of protein molecule. If the question refers to highly- refined white flour, then breads made with other types of whole grain flours are "better" in terms of vitamins, minerals, fiber and complex carbohydrates.White flour has gluten in it. But, if you used wheat flour or any other kind, it would be better. White flour was originally used just to make things fresh longer. It was never indicated for using in every single food.
Is it ok to substitute all purpose flour for cake flour?
It is; a better substitution is all purpose flour with 2 tbl cornflour (cornstarch) added per cup of flour used. Also, some cake flours have leavening agents in - you may need to add these to the all-purpose flour.
