You could sub in white flour instead or make this carrot cake recipe which uses white flour [www.thekiwicountrygirl.com]
The internet suggests (you'd need to do this in reverse because you're subbing white flour for whole wheat flour):
To substitute whole wheat flour for white flour, use 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour for every 1 cup of white flour that your recipe calls for. Also, add 2 teaspoons of liquid, like water or milk, for every 1 cup of whole wheat flour you use so your recipe doesn't turn out too dry.
Substitutes for wholemeal flour (just for the information - it won't be of much use at the moment as most will be out of stock or too hard to get, and many not ideal for using in carrot cake):
[tastessence.com]
Dawn, you can make the kumara bread with entirely white flour but you'll need to adjust the water volume a bit, plus it won't be as healthy and the texture will be affected somewhat. I don't think I've made a completely white flour version of it so I can't say what the end result would definitely be like, but I used to make it with 315g white and 315g wholemeal and it was perfectly fine.

I was in a similar situation a few weeks ago and found this page: wholemeal flour substitute. It says: 7/8 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoon (6 grams) wheat germ.

Thanks J1 and Cas3112 for your comments. Now that I have hi-grade flour my breadmaker is baking a white loaf for us, and I've decided to wait until I can get proper wholemeal flour before I repeat J1's Kumara Bread. However, I did have a wee google search before lamenting the lack of wholemeal flour above, and also found a suggestion adding wheatgerm to plain flour but I wasn't game enough to try and thought I might waste too much lovely kumara if it was a failure! However, it would may work satisfactarily for AMWilliam's cake.
Thanks too to Karena - we don't have a local organic shop near, but when the shackles are taken down and we're are allowed to go out and about more, I will seek an organic shop.
Regards,
Dawn.

I think the problem with rolled oats would be the lack of gluten. I wouldn’t be keen to try it.

I have tried the Edmonds Mixed Grain Bread Mix. It makes a fluffy bread. Do check the expiry date because oil is incorporated. Mine lingered in the pantry after baking one loaf and I threw the rest out because it had a strange smell because I left it for too long. I think it would make a reasonable alternative for bread baking while whole meal is in short supply.
