At Gold Medal®, we believe that you need to start with quality ingredients to bake your best. From the field to your table, we take pride in ensuring the Gold Medal® standard is upheld. We begin by selecting top-grade North American wheat. We mill the wheat ourselves, using mills we have owned for generations. We believe this difference sets us apart and ensures our commitment to consistency is upheld. We create Gold Medal® Flour with the same care and dedication you use when baking. For over 125 years, our constant goal has been to do your effort proud. For as long as you take the time to create something special, we'll continue to provide the flour you can rely upon.

Using Gold Medal® Whole Wheat flour is an easy way to give your baked goods a little more nutrition and texture. It's great for hearty breads, breakfast muffins, pancakes, and cookies! Gold Medal® carefully mills this flour to give it an even, medium-fine granulation, which makes it adaptable for many types of baked goods. If you're substituting whole wheat for all-purpose, take note that whole wheat flour will absorb more liquid than all-purpose, so some recipes may need minor adjustments.

What Makes Whole Wheat Flour Good for My Health? Whole wheat flour is 100% whole-grain food. We expertly mill it from the complete wheat kernel, which is comprised of the fiber-rich bran, the endo-sperm and the germ. These components contain vitamins, minerals and complex carbohydrates that all work together to help maintain good health. Using Gold Medal® whole wheat flour for your baking needs is a simple, easy way to get more whole grain into your diet!

Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour.

Directions

Your Kitchen Rules: When to use it. Whole wheat flour is milled from complete wheat kernels which makes for a more satisfying chew and a flavor with great character. Use it to give your baked goods a little color, and when you want to bake a whole helping of feel-good into everything you share. Measure it: Spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level off with a knife. No sifting necessary. Substitute it: When recipes call for all-purpose flour, we recommend starting with 25% Whole Wheat flour and working your way up to 50% of the total flour required in the recipe. You can increase your percentage as you become more familiar with the recipes. Cups per Pound: There are 3-1/3 cups of flour per pound and about 16-2/3 cups per 5 pound bag.

Safe Handling Instructions: To prevent illness from naturally occurring bacteria in wheat flour, do not eat or play with raw dough. Wash hands and surfaces after handling.

Store it: Thousands of years ago, flour was stored in cool, dry caves, but any airtight container or tightly-sealable freezer bag in your kitchen (or fridge or freezer for long-term storage) will do just fine. Just bring to room temperature before using.
