Where to buy? Many of your recipes suggest using whole wheat pastry flour. Where do you buy such a thing in Israel?
I’m on it!
Brynie says that they sell it in all the makolets. It’s called 80% whole wheat flour. The most quality brand is Rubinfeld which is available in stores in Bklyn too. But in stores here u can often find more than one.brand!
