HELP WITH WPI!

nurseypoo5 · 11-14-2003, 02:16 PM

Ok all i got my order of wpi, but not sure what to do with it. I have read that many people hate it

what is your opinion. If it bakes like real flour, but taste like caca then it may not be for me. But lets face it, does soy protein isolate taste all that great either? I used to buy that really expensive soy protein isolate for shakes and make an atkins mix with that and mac. nut flour, and i could handle the taste quit well. Anyone find that wti is not as good as this mixture? Should i keep mixing with nut flours? HELP HELP HELP....need to shop but sooo unsure what to go buy....

what about other glutens and stuff, do i need to keep stocking up on those type things too. If so what would a novice baker on the woe buy in the specialty isle at krogers lol.

HELP!

I've used it in Sherilee's waffles and buns and in the 3 minute chocolate cake - I've been pleased every time I've used it.

It's not a one-to-one substitute for white flour.

But, with a mix of almond flour, WPI, and maybe protein flour, I've had very good luck with it every time I've used it... with the exception of biscuits. I still haven't made edible biscuits... but I don't give up hope! LOL.

It takes a little experimentation, but I'm happy with it.

I am adding some to most recipes that I am making.....sometimes as little as a 1/4 cup. It may only be working as a filler, but is higher protein, lower carb than most any other thing to use. And in somethings it has been great. I also use xanathan gum and/or guar in any recipe lately.
