Whole Wheat Amish Friendship Bread?!
Answers: Has anyone made Amish Friendship Bread with whole wheat or with oat flour? I prefer whole wheat for nutritional reason but refuse to ruin the bread if it doesn't come out well!
You can use whole wheat in a 3 to 1 ratio with white flour so you get the raise you need. So use 3 parts white to 1 part whole wheat flour. The same would go for the oat flour.
if theres anything the amish have mastered its butter, wheat bread, and ignoring technology
I have, but not 100% whole wheat.
One thing I've noticed is that I can't let it ferment at too low a temperature, or it gets sour, so I leave a new batch overnight in the oven with a light bulb on.
I like it with about 1/4 whole wheat, but have used half before, and was able to eat it! Also, I make my starter fresh for each batch, because it just tastes better to me.
