Understanding Whole Wheat Flour Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion

Measurement Tip
For accurate whole wheat flour measurements, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it with a straight edge. Never scoop directly from the bag—this compacts the flour and can give you up to 30% more than intended, which will make your baked goods dense and dry.
