Substitution ratio: 1 cup Rye Flour = 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
Effects on Your Baking
This is the biggest difference — rye's unique earthy, slightly sour flavor is completely lost. Whole wheat has its own pleasant nuttiness, but it tastes nothing like rye. If you're making a recipe that depends on rye flavor (like pumpernickel), this swap will fundamentally change the character of the bread.
