5 Days Series: Tried and Tested Whole Wheat Recipes

Join my friends and I as we spend 5 days together, exploring a variety of topics all related to mothering and homemaking!

Welcome back to 5 Days with Whole Wheat Flour! If you’ve missed any of the posts in the series, here they are:

  • different types of wheat available,
  • why you should choose whole wheat
  • benefits of grinding your own wheat
  • tips for baking with whole wheat flour

I’m going to close out the series by leaving you with a list of tried-and-true recipes that utilize whole wheat flour. Some of them consist entirely of 100% whole wheat, some only partial. Some are from my blog, many are from blogs I read and love. But they all have one thing in common: they are tested recipes that work. Most of them I have made myself on more than one occasion; the others come from trusted sources that have found them to be reliable. Keep this list handy, because you will need it!

At the end of the post, I’ve included a link-up so you can add your own favorite whole wheat recipes! Add as many as you like, just make sure they’re recipes you can recommend to anyone. And share with your friends - the more recipes we have, the more comprehensive the resource.

Mashed Potato Crescent Rolls - This is a family favorite recipe that I adapted for the bread machine.

    My FAVORITE bread to make using whole wheat flour is also one of The Cheapskate Cook’s Recipes : Sunshine Bread! If you haven’t tried it, you are really missing out! I haven’t met someone who didn’t beg me for the recipe when they ate it. I just send them to her link:

    • I just got my first “bad” cantaloupe of the season and I’m geared up to make a loaf of that! Thanks for the mention. It’s a fav.

      What a fabulous list! Thanks for sharing. I’d like to try the blueberry muffins. They’re one of my favorite er- processed foods - but I haven’t been happy with the homemade versions I’ve tried.

      I want to give sourdough another try as well - 2 times and 2 flops, but eventually i have to get it, right?

  4. What a great series!! I’m just now getting into baking with whole wheat flour and I’m booking marking this site for help and future ideas!!
