Asked on 19 Jul 2018 by Simon01

Hi Lindsey. I want to make Delia's French bread with wholemeal flour. Can I just substitute strong white for strong wholemeal?

Hello,

We haven’t tried this recipe with Wholemeal flour. Yes I think strong flour is best and I’d probably do half and half white and Wholemeal.  

Wholemeal flour will absorb more liquid.

Kind regards

Lindsey
