Processing white flour removes 26 nutrients including vitamins, essential oils, protein and fiber. Most white flour is also bleached which adds harmful chemicals to it. White flour stores better because there are not enough nutrients in it to sustain bugs and rodents, who do appreciate the nutritional value of whole grain flour!

White flour usually does rise a bit more than wholemeal because it has had the heavy solid content bran taken out in other words it's finer. It also depends on how much air has been sifted into it at the preparation stage. But it does also depend on how strong the wheat flour is with regard to Gluten.
The strong bread making flours contain more gluten and they are therefore more elastic both as dough and when cooked.
So if you want a Yorkshire Pudding to rise well, use Strong White Bread making flour.
If you try making Yorkshire Pudding with wholemeal or wheatmeal flour it won't rise nearly as much. The end product will be heavy and more doughy. You can force it rise a bit more by adding an extra egg but usually type for type, the white will rise more than the brown.

What is the measure to substitute whole wheat flour for white flour?
One must expect some differences in the final product when whole wheat flour is substituted for white or all-purpose flour. A fairly safe practice is to replace no more than one-third of the flour with whole wheat flour. This ensures proper rising and a delicate crumb. As the proportion of whole wheat to white increases, the baked product will be increasingly dense with less rise and a tougher, more chewy crumb.
Can whole wheat pastry flour be substituted for white flour?
White flour is wheat flour. The asker may intend to ask whether whole wheat flour can be substituted for white flour. The answer is yes, but the final product will be more dense and heavy than when made with white flour. Home bakers often compromise by replacing 1/3 to 1/2 of the flour in a recipe with whole wheat flour, then use white flour for the remaining amount.
Difference between white bread and whole wheat bread is?
White bread is made from wheat flour that has been processed to remove the bran and germ - thereby making it white. Whole wheat bread has been made with whole wheat flour - four that has been processed from the intact grain. Whole wheat bread will naturally contain more fiber. There are some recent varieties of wheat that produce a whiter flour. You can find them on the grocery shelf labeled as "white whole wheat".
What is the difference between white whole wheat flour and whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour contains the entire grain including the bran and "germ" of the wheat berry (grain.) Pastry flour is more highly refined, with the bran and germ removed. Pastry flour also is made from strains of wheat with lower gluten (protein) than all-purpose or bread flour, in order to produce tender pastries.
Why is wheat flour better than white flour?
wheaten , white is full of calories, sugar and salt.
Is whole wheat bread the same as 100 percent whole wheat bread?
No. Basic white bread, for example, is a wheat bread, but it is not made with whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is made with the entire wheat kernel, which is why it is darker in color and contains more fiber than other types of wheat flours.
If you have only white flour can you substitute it for whole wheat flour?
Yes, but whole wheat flour requires slightly more liquid to bind it together than white flour. If you wish to substitute, liquid quantities need to be adjusted accordingly (in most cases this can be done by eye if you know what consistency is meant to be achieved).
Does white bread have a higher moisture level than wheat bread?
White bread is a wheat bread. Now if you mean 'whole wheat' versus white, then the whole wheat is made from flour that still contains the bran and germ of the wheat grain. Plain white flour is made from only the endosperm. Whole wheat bread is considered healthier than plain white bread. Please note that there is a white whole wheat flour on the market.
Why do recipes with whole wheat flour often contain all purpose flour to?
Because there are molecules in all-purpose flour that stabilize the consistency of the flour. Hence the name, "all-purpose". It will do the trick for most-everything you cook, and will not interfere with the molecules in whole-wheat flour. Whole wheat flour typically will not have the durability because ingredients from regular flour have been removed and/or replaced to fit in more whole-wheat additives.
Can you substitute white flour for whole wheat flour when making cookies?
Generally, you can replace white flour with whole wheat flour of the same type (bread for bread, all purpose for all purpose), substituting one for one. However, products made with whole wheat flour will usually be more dense. This may be helped somewhat by sifting the flour one or two extra times to help incorporate more air. Always remember when using any all purpose flour for items such as muffins and cookies to mix as little as possible to avoid forming glutens, which will toughen the final result.
Can whole wheat flour be used on low carb diets?
Oh yes definitely. Whole wheat is a kind of an unrefined flour that retained much of the wheat germ and bran that is rich in nutrients and dietary fiber. The shelf life is short, which is the only drawback. whole wheat flour is lesser in carbohydrates and more nutritious than refined flour.
