I’m very much looking forward to trying this recipe. I just saved it to delicious and printed it out too! I like the idea of the powdered sugar and orange juice added to it for some nice flavor and to cut the bitterness of the wheat. Thank you for this! : )

Hi Lydia. Yes, you can use white whole wheat flour. The book basically says you can use them interchangeably, though the recipe specifies “traditional,” which is what I typically keep on hand.

What about substituting white whole wheat flour in this recipe? I’m quite addicted to it, and I find that it’s a great way to “sneak” whole wheat flour into my baking.

Hi Alanna. Your question echoes the thoughts of the authors. They suggest apple, pecan, and blueberry pies for this crust, as well as beef and portobello mushroom turnovers. I’m experimenting with apple dumplings using this whole wheat dough this weekend. Other pies and their quiches use whole wheat pastry flour, barley flour, and ground oats instead of traditional whole wheat flour.

What a great ambition, Andrea! Question for you: would you use this crust for quiche and savory pies but forgo for fruit and dessert pies? I’m having trouble imagining this wrapped around lemon meringue, for example …

Hi Judy. The original recipe doesn’t say to increase the flour if you omit the buttermilk powder, and I would agree.

So glad you posted this. Can’t wait to try it. DO you think if you omit the buttermilk powder you should increase the flour?

This is just what I needed! I’m baking an apple pie for a friend and I desperately wanted a whole wheat spin!

We are trying too to move towards a wholesome whole wheat life so, as soon I saw your tweet, I decided to come here Thanks a ton for this, Andrea.

I like the addition of cold orange juice to this crust.
