Hi Stephanie, you can certainly use your whole wheat sourdough starter in a white flour bread recipe, but it may not contribute quite the same rise and flavor that a white flour starter will. Whole wheat starters tend to deliver a little more sour flavor, but may also result in a somewhat denser final loaf. I'd encourage you to give your starter a try in a few recipes and see how you like the results. You can always convert your starter to white flour later, if you decide you want to do so. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
