I made this recipe using all wheat flour instead of white and wheat and it was really good. The only other thing I changed was adding more seasonings and also adding grill seasoning. My husband is picky but if its spicy he'll eat it so it was just a personal taste thing. I will be making this again. PS no one knew I used wheat flour!
