Flour Substitute
Hi Betty. I have a recipe that asks for graham or rye flour... What can I use instead?
--Louise
Hi again, Louise! You can use whole-wheat flour in most any recipe that calls for graham flour. Substitutes for rye flour can get a bit trickier, but if the recipe calls for graham OR rye flour, you’ll likely be OK using whole-wheat flour.
