I use the same amount as you would white flour. You will never know the difference. I have lost 38# and the biggest changes I made was using almond flour instead of white and stevia in place of sugar. Enjoy!

"Can you replace all-purpose flour (APF) with almond flour in a recipe? Possibly, but it will depend on the recipe and the other ingredients. Almond flour is denser than APF and many other baking flours and so it behaves differently in each recipe. The biggest difference is that APF contains gluten as a binding agent, and almond flour doesn't contain gluten so it relies on other ingredients to hold it together."

Misty I have been using recipes that are made to use almond flour. Since there isn't any gluten it will not rise like bread flour. So no just substituting will not work in some recipes.

I use 3/4 cup GF to 1 cup regular flour. If I do 1 to 1 it is too much and makes the batter heavy and the finished product not as fluffy.

I use it and nothing else as I am allergic to all cereal grains. I have had a lot of success with it as a solo flour actually and see ZERO reason to mix it with anything else. It is not a mathematically straight swap but cooking with it is a lot easier than these other comments suggest. Just hit some allergy websites for usable recipes.

I had the same initial problem. Try your recipe with 1/8-1/4 cup less flour. Worked for me.

You can use it in place of flour for low-fat, low-calorie, low-glycemic baking. I have specific recipes that call for it. It has no flavor of its own, so it carries the other flavors of your recipe.

I tried it for the first time with a simple baking powder batter and could not fill it with over a cup of batter. I think the yeasted recipe on the package might expand a bit more. I also poured the batter it in the middle, but maybe it makes more sense to try to fill each square individually?

I also use a white bread four with the 7 grain. I love the little piece of whole grain in this flour which gives an extra texture to the bread. It's the favorite bread a my B&B;

I use mine to make almond flour all the time. It's perfect, and you get the benefit of the almond "skin" unlike in your store bought almond flours. If you run it too long you can get close to making almond butter.

Hi, unless the package says otherwise, I use the same portions. Also, if flour has xanthan this must be added.

you probably have 4 or 5 cups. I would personally order from Honeyville grain directly from their website. Their product is amazing and their 5lb bag is fairly priced at $44 if you are a baker or use almond flour for savory recipes.

I have not tried for her recipes. I have tried this almond flour for other recipes and have decided that I will give up baking., I have not found any recipe that I like with either almond or coconut flour or any using both flours. It is not cheap baking with these flours and if I can't enjoy anything baked with it why bothers. I guess my motto has to be "keep it simple".

Personally, I prefer white flour in Challah. BUT if I were going to use "whole wheat," I'd use this. (The quotes are because this flour is almost whole wheat--it's very slightly refined. The perfect amount, I think. No grit. That's what makes it so flexible in so many recipes).

I did. The recipe instructions call for (if I remember right) 1 whole egg, and either 1 or 2 egg whites. I also used the all-purpose flour, and I just used my mother's recipe for ooey gooey brownies, and used eggs, butter, cocoa, the whole bit. They were delicious, and much better than any gluten-free mix I have tried. I also made chocolate chip cookies using the toll house recipe, and they turned out good...a little gooier than regular, but still tasty.

I've had my Nesco breadmaker since Christmas 2013, so that's the age of the manual I have. It has a recipe for Honey Whole Wheat Bread that calls for 3 1/4 cups plus 3TBS whole wheat flour and 3 TBS gluten flour. It does not mention all purpose flour. I'm not a baker so I don't know if the gluten flour is what would be considered all-purpose? I use my machine for mixes such as beer bread, Hawaiian sweet bread, Italian herb, etc. and it makes them to perfection. I did make the Wonderful White Bread from scratch and it was delicious. There are very few recipes in the manual but there is a section on adapting other recipes for the bread machine.

I have placed about 5 1/2 cups of flour in mine but you have to be careful not to go past that. Also, be careful not to overload the motor with a batch of dough this large. It will get hot. When a recipe calls for this much ingredient, I make two batches. It is a bit of trouble but I don't want to ruin my mixer. Hope this helps.

Considering the starch content (potato starch and tapioca flour) which will thicken more than regular flour, I would use a less than 1:1 substitution. You can always add more as needed.

I am wondering the same thing about this product. Did you ever hear back from them? Did you buy it anyway? I need to order soon, but won't have much use for anything but white spelt flour.
