Hi Fily! You sure can use some whole wheat or rye flour here! Whole wheat flour has a slightly higher protein content than all-purpose flour which will cause the flour to absorb more liquid. When using whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose, we recommend increasing the liquid by 2 teaspoons per cup of flour substituted. We suggest only swapping out 50% of the total amount of flour with whole wheat. Whole wheat baked goods will rise a bit less and have a more closed crumb structure. For details on replacing all-purpose flour with rye flour, check out our How to substitute rye flour for all-purpose flour blog article. Happy baking!
