Wheat flour is actually a bit odd?

 

 


@Still Raining   There is a recipe site coming through on my Facebook feed and most of the recipes call for "wheat flour." 

 

I figured I would check here to see if that was listed for an important reason or all purpose could be substituted with no issues.

Not to hijack this thread....but @Still Raining you mentioned Sorghum.

 

I have a jar of this stuff from a friend in TN.  Can I sub it for recipes calling for molasses maybe?  It is thick like honey/molasses.

 

I googled and got no where....TIA!



Think only a good cook can help you here.  I have never seen a jar actually.

 

I live sort of by the Red Mill factory store, and wow, that has been wonderful.  Sorghum is a tricky flour, but they often have loaves.  Heaven.
