I see this in a lot of recipes But can't find it.  I've looked in the main box stores and several Health Food Stores.


Can you just use whole wheat flour and get good results?

The brand I've seen most often in stores for Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is Bob's Red Mill -- they have a store locator on their website where you can look for a specific product which may be worth a try.


Personally though, I don't usually purchase whole wheat pastry flour and have had success substituting white whole wheat flour (still 100% whole grain, just made with a different variety of wheat) which I always have on hand. I find that it is milder than regular whole wheat flour and the flavor and texture difference isn't as drastic compared to white flours. I know Gold Medal Flour, King Arthur Flour (my personal favorite), and even store brands often offer white whole wheat flour now. All that said, I don't tend to make very fancy or delicate pastry-type recipes. But for everyday baking, I would definitely use the white whole wheat as a substitute for whole wheat pastry flour.
