I have recipes that I am going to make this month. They include the following flours:

Oat
Whole Spelt
Whole Wheat
Barley
Unbleached White

I can't remember, but there were about 3 other kinds.

Can I sub any flour for WW pastry flour? I don't want to go to the store and buy 6-8 bags of flour. I am not sure how many kinds are in the bulk section at the store.

Thanks!!

If you have some oatmeal you can make oat flour in your blender or food processor.

If you're making yeast bread you'll want to use "regular" whole wheat flour - pastry flour doesn't contain enough gluten for it to rise.

Otherwise, I would think that you could use the ww pastry flour for the spelt and barley flours - might make a small taste difference in your finished product, but not too much. If you have some regular barley, you could try to whir that up like the oatmeal (haven't tried it, but it would probably work).
