I am trying to bake as much of my family's bread nowadays as I can. While we love traditional "whole wheat", there are some breads we still like to be "white". King Arthur flour has started to carry "whole wheat white" which is made from a different type of wheat than traditionally has been grown in the U.S. Does anyone here have any experience baking with it? Is it indistinguishable from the white I'm used to?
Also, my regular "whole wheat" flour cautions me to keep it cool, if not frozen. I've been told this is because oils in whole wheat can go rancid. Yet, the bag of King Arthur whole wheat white that I just purchased carries no such warning. Does it not matter?
I can't wait until this stuff gets more popular and the price goes down. That 5 lb. bag I bought cost more than the 10 lb. bag of bread flour that I usually buy! At our local equivalent of Whole Foods, it costs TWICE as much (for HALF the quantity)!
