Is there any substitute for all purpose bleached flour when you bake banana bread?

Any wheat flour should work. If you use all whole- wheat flour, you will end up with a heavier bread which is also a bit more crumbly. Other flours such as rice flour don't contain gluten, which is what allows bread to rise and have the texture it does. The gluten forms strands trap air and cause the bread to rise.

What is the measure to substitute whole wheat flour for white flour?

One must expect some differences in the final product when whole wheat flour is substituted for white or all-purpose flour. A fairly safe practice is to replace no more than one-third of the flour with whole wheat flour. This ensures proper rising and a delicate crumb. As the proportion of whole wheat to white increases, the baked product will be increasingly dense with less rise and a tougher, more chewy crumb.


What alternative flours can replace white and wheat flour?

Different flours can be used interchangeably, although they will not produce identical products. White flour is a type of wheat flour that has all elements of the wheat grain removed except for the starchy inner part of the grain. It is usually chemically bleached to the preferred whiteness. Other types of wheat flour include unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and cracked wheat flour. Bread flour is wheat flour with a higher percentage of gluten, while pastry flour is wheat flour with lower gluten. Self-rising flour is wheat flour to which salt and leavening ingredients are added. Some flours that can replace wheat flours are spelt flour, oat flour, rye flour, rice flour and corn flour. Each type of flour will have a distinctive taste and texture.


Is rice flour similar to plain for self raising flour?

No. Rice flour is made from rice. Plain flour is refined wheat flour. Self rising flour is refined wheat flour with baking powder and salt already in it. Wheat flour has gluten, rice flour does not and cannot be used to substitute for wheat flour.

Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
