About Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour is made from the entire wheat kernel - bran, germ, and endosperm. It provides more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than refined flours, but produces denser baked goods due to bran interference with gluten development.
For reverse conversion, 1 cup of whole wheat flour weighs approximately 121g with Spoon & Level.

Expert Tips
Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid than white flour. Add 1-2 extra tablespoons of liquid per cup when substituting.
For lighter results, substitute half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour in any recipe.
Store whole wheat flour in the refrigerator or freezer - the natural oils in the bran can go rancid at room temperature.

Using the Spoon & Level method, 125g of whole wheat flour equals approximately 1.03 cups. It is slightly less dense than all-purpose flour.
You can substitute up to 50% whole wheat flour in most recipes without major changes. For 100% substitution, increase liquid by 2 tbsp per cup and expect a denser result.
The bran particles in whole wheat flour cut through gluten strands, weakening the structure. This is why 100% whole wheat breads are denser than white breads.
